Question about D&V - Health anxiety

Hi all,

had anyone ever experienced having diarrhoea and vomiting (just me that has it so I think it’s food poisoning maybe, doesn’t seem contagious) and then starting to feel better after 48hours then feeling bad again and vomiting etc again?

I was sick on Sunday night, one large vomit then up with diarrhoea in the night. Didn’t eat much Monday and rested. Felt better this morning and had some bland food today - cheese sandwich, banana, cheese crackers (though the crackers were high fibre so maybe silly choice). Then this evening I have been sick again. I’m a bit emetophobic and have health anxiety so being sick is a bit traumatic for me, especially when I don’t know the cause.

just wanted to know if anyone had experienced this before? I did a 10K run on Sunday morning and ate some jerk chicken afterwards at a restaurant that I think may be the culprit but my health anxiety is spiralling a bit. I’ll obvs call a GP if it doesn’t improve tomorrow etc. but is it possible I’ve just maybe eaten too soon or something?

I should add that I wouldn’t be concerned if I hadn’t been sick again so long after the first bout of sickness - usually the worst is over in 24hours and once I stop throwing up I am fine but this is unusual

What you’ve ate today was probably too dairy heavy for a completely empty stomach, cheese & banana & high fibre?? Dry toast would have been a better idea! You hadn’t stopped vomiting you had nothing to vomit and then ate the wrong foods
Hope you’re feeling better soon
