Food poisoning or Norovirus?

[purplepeony]

How doyou know which it is?
Stuck downlate Friday pm- vomiting all yesterday with sweats and chills, terrible aches and pains, but no headache, and feeling like I was going to die..not even able to keep water down.
terrible diarrhea- purely water coming out my bum - all last night and this morning..now feeling slightly better.

COULD be infection after cooking raw chicken- though am slways careful- COULD be unwashed grapes I had- or norovirus?
no one else in faily got it but hey didn't handle/eat food.
any ideas?

Sounds to me like norovirus (she says stroking chin thoughtfully). DH had precisely this over easter weekend and I came down with it a week later. It is a truly horrible bug. [On the limited bright side, I did lose 8 lbs in 3 days which seems to have stayed off so far...]

DD and DS haven't had it at all, and we live with my mum and dad who are also absolutely fine.

well I have lost 4lbs in 2 days so there.

Gastly diarrhea. day and night and even leaked in the night - sorry TMI.

Is noro just another posh word then for food pois? You still get it from eating or can you get it from handling something then not washing hands?
