Foood poisoning

God…this is worse than any accident ive ever had…i am one poorly smiled :sick:

I have never puked like this before ever and ive been S***ing through the eye of a needle…this is not good.

anyone had this before? and how long does it last?..

please…please take this away…this is hell…

smiled:crying:.

Depends what you got, one to four days, but those pro-biotic drinks would help along with some pampers.

Awwww hunny, i’m sending my best wishes. It might be Norovirus, i had it once, lasts 24-48 hours and it is hell. You’ll know cos the back and front end is often projectile. Oh…and you want to die so it will finish.

Not recently - though in my time in Africa - spent lots of time on bogs (or hovering over holes) :wink:

Worse day was when I was bored (had been at least 10 times that morning) and decided to clip my toes…managed to pull off the whole nail on my second toe - ouch - so with blood going everywhere, I checked out my last roll of bog roll…what to do? Wrap your bleeding toe or conserve paper for your dash next to the bog? Nightmare.

Back on task, this does sound like it could be vomiting bug going around… adults at my work were off for 3 to 7 days - dependent on how bad (or lazy) there were.

Happy crapping.:slight_smile:

ohh bloody hell…so it could be a virus?

well whatever it is…can it foxtrot oscor soon as its my birthday soon…;).

smiled:).

Yeah the Noro Virus is doing the rounds. Basic if you are pissing out of your arse you’ve probably got it.

I had a couple of weeks ago. Lasted about 36 hours and felt rough for another couple of days.

Welcome to sore arse country, smoke em’ if you’ve got em.

Genuine tip - lots of flat coke. It’s basically water and sugar - which is what you need when you are dehydrated. Which you will be if you have the shits and don’t replenish all the lost water. Add a spoonfull of salt (Doh) if you can stomach it.

Man that is a lot of sugar, that would have floored me with a stinking headache.

I found lemonade and hot buttered toast about all I could keep down for a day or two.

Yeah - lots of sugar / water and salt apparently. The advice (from a Doc) assumes you are not taking in any food - which is often the case if you are throwing up as soon as anything hits your stomach.

One of the pleasures of life in the bush in Africa - with no access to a medical service…fun times. :slight_smile:

mega thanks blue for the advice…and kev…tanks a million…;).

smiled:).

Your welcome, and btw Smiled Club number one is a cutie!

:laugh:

thats my lil Taylor-Roo…cheers dude.

Roo is here nic around thease parts mate…my little angel…:D.

smiled:)

Shut up moaning at least you’ll lose all that exess fat you gained over christmas:P
Lol oooh shitty smiled:sick:

i find lots of water or fresh orange juice is a good way to flush out the system

You poor thing. :sick: The flat cola/lemonade works well but try and get some salt in your system too; dry crackers can be good for that.

I had food poisoning before xmas after some dodgey food from Spittalfields market. It was just the throwing up part though.

The doc gave me some tablets that you stick on your gum. Stopped the upchucking almost straight away.

He said that if they didn’t work and I couldn’t keep any fluids down, I’d need to go in and be put on a drip !! :ermm:

Sounds like Norovirus all right.

On the upside it’s like a hot fire . . . it will burn itself out quickly. 24/36 hours and the little viral b*astards are dead. Be aware that you will be VERY infections and literally alive with the virus; anyone around you (and you yourself) must wash their hands like mad!

In the mean time with the world flying out of you (from both ends) dehydration is an issue.

If you have someone you can send to the chemist get some Dioralyte or Lucozade Isotonic. Cola drinks don’t hydrate very well as they contain too much sugar. The spoonful of salt is a BAD idea, it will probably make you hurl even more.

Also, peppermint tea will soothe your aching guts as it is a natural antispasmodic. It also tastes better in your mouth than the contents of your stomach!

If it last more than 48 hours call your doc for more advice

D

How are you feeling today smiled?

ahhhh feeling so much better today thanks a million carrie!!

yep…ate a good sized meal last night…(cottage pie) that mrs smiled made and kept it down…slept like a log…woke up today and heaps better.

My arse is still abit stingy from all the abuse…but all in all on the mend…:D.

have a good day guys…and thanks soooo much for all the good advice…;).

thank god for you all here at LB…you gotta love this site eh?..lol

Norovirus is short sharp and shocking. And the ring sting is not fun!
