I'm just getting over what could only have been a bout of food poisoning (vomiting, stomach cramps etc) and am trying to pin down what caused it.
Anyone know how long after consumption of the dodgy item does it take for symptoms to develop?

I ate something in the evening, prob about 6ish and then by 9 I was in the bathroom with a very poorly stomach.. The stomach ache was not your normal stomach cramps and by the time I had cleared my stomach and had nothing inside me I started to see blood..
By this time it was about 3ish.. Not wanting to worry ppl or wake my parents I rang them at 6 and asked them to take me to hospital. I live on my own so noone was with me..
I ended up on a 2 different drips..
The item of food i ate was made of egg... As it was the only thing I ate that day which would have made me ill..
I also got sick from a restaurant, eating a sort of raw egg dish, im sure thats what it was.Ate it at about 5 and was nauseaous that night and really sick by the next morning but better the day after, didnt go to hospital but it was really horrid, and im really careful about raw eggs now.I made some icecream with raw eggs in it recently to see what it tasted like but i couldnt bring myself to eat it in the end.
Not kebab no, haven't eaten any form of takeaway food for about a month. However, I did have poached duck egg for lunch, and roast chicken for tea, and felt ill about an hour after the chicken.
Wow, I got off quite lightly then! :eek:
If you had really bad vomiting which came on suddenly it's probably nv.
Yeah it was kinda worrying as didn't know if it was just a really bad tummy ache. But after going to hospital and them confirming it I was glad they were there to put the drip in my hand to put all the fluids and pain killers in me. Otherwise would have taken me a while to dehydrate again and helped me get better sooner rather than later.
It resulted in my brother buying me a cook book.. :eek: The cheek of it!
Was that the batch you made with or without the egg yolks??
I've had food poisoning several times and it ain't nice.
First time was bean sprouts in a Chicken Stir fry - a day or two later the products were being recalled due to a processing problem with the bean sprouts causing the outbreak. I was in hospital for a couple of days with that.
Had food poisoning from chicken a couple of times, one the buffet during a wedding, the other from a BBQ.
Had food poisoning from pork when I had Peppered Pork in Ibiza, I was pretty ill for a couple of days and a few days still recovering.
I have food poisoning twice at Burger King at two different places - I just don't have anything from Burger King now, can't trust them and after seeing programmes on how bad their hygiene is it's not surprising I got food poisoning.
Yeah thats true, i had it last year. It took about 16 hours to work on me and my doc told me it can take anything up to 24 hours.
I find it is quite rapid, within 30 minutes or sometimes I do not feel comfortable after a meal and it goes on for a few hours, then I start coughing which leads to sickness, it is usually when I have had some ready meal.
Staff Christmas dinner was a greasy disaster, salmon did not taste right, (avoid pub called Boot and Slipper in my area) only one of 3 toilet cubicles was working, I nearly had to use the sink to throw up, the person ahead of me took so long. :eek:
Sorry if TMI.
I still feel groggy but there's been no more vomitting.
I'm wondering what it is though because my OH and I always eat the same things and he's ok!
12 hours up (ie vomiting), 24 hours down (diahorrea)
ADC
I had Campylobacta.
That's Salmonella poisoning.
with the egg yolks, exactly as the recipe said, but in the end i was dubious.Probably overcautious.
There are some other recipes where the egg yolks are heated first - i shall try those.
that sounds more like norovirus.
Went to an engagement party and was ill too - very embarrassing for the people who arranged it because most of the guests came down with it over the space of a few days (I was ill the same night). Work colleague also so the office was deserted. Some hadn't even eaten so put down to dirty glasses in the hall. I've also heard that salad in a prime cause when it's not been washed.
