Fortunately. That sounds so bad and is common with gastro illnesses, but luckily not me.
Big weight loss though.

Last time I got the sickness I was also on the road. Hit me in the middle of a sales call about an hour after some lukewarm sausage gravy at Denny's. Used my customers bathroom and totally wrecked it. The guy didn't have any toilet paper so I mopped my ass up with paper towels and clogged up his shitter. I ain't been back there . Rented the first motel I could find, a Motel 6 and was holed up 2 days projectiling at both ends.

This time around I think was worse, because one of my regular meds stops me up so I *couldn't* achieve the necessary purge. Felt like a barb wire wrapped pallet of bricks in my stomach. I hate hospitals and I'm loathe to go unless really necessary...it once took me a week to go in after fracturing my arm attempting BMX stunts in my 20s. So this was baaad. Felt like I was dying. Whatever cocktail they put me on was magic tho. And it's amazing how different you're treated when you plunk down that Supermed One card. Otherwise they stop the bleeding and kick your ass to the curb, lol. Just got an email from my provider and they've already submitted almost $3000 in claims. I bet the morphine wasn't cheap.

I hear you. I got Salmonella in London one time. Lost over ten pounds in three days, and I didn't vomit once.

Lucky...I was very glad to have a trash can in the can during my 3 day Salmonella battle. 

I have only had food poisoning once. Barfed goat and wild mushroom ravioli out my nose. 

The only bright spot was clear sinuses for about a week.

I got food poisoning once from some bad hot dogs when I was younger.  I was throwing up every half hour like clockwork.  After a couple of hours, I got sick of dry heaving and was hungry even though I couldn't keep anything down, so I made myself a bowl of vanilla ice cream.  It was then that I discovered something miraculous...  When you regurgitate ice cream, it comes up cold so it is soothing on your throat, and it still tastes like ice cream, so it isn't bad at all.  Ever since then, whenever I get a stomach virus, I eat ice cream until I stop throwing up... It works like a charm!!   

I got food poisoning from orange juice once. I didn't drink orange juice for at least ten years. I feel your pain.

I once got food poisoning from dropping 7 shots of 151 with a little amaretto floated on top into 7 beers.  I didn't drink a Dr Pepper for 5 years after that.

My wife USED to have wicker waste baskets in our bathrooms.......until I ate some bad sushi one night and had it exploding out of both ends.  Wicker, Bad.

With all the excellent mexican food places in Gwinnett that are open 24 hours you pick Taco Hell?

Damn this thread and the power of suggestion.  Took my oldest sons soccer team to chipotle last night.  Halfway through my steak burrito bowl I started getting stomach cramps and bloating.  No events other than prolonged gaseous ones, luckily.

After watching their operation, I'm not so crazy about having 12 different people handling/dealing with my food.

Hmm I lived in ATL for 5 years and never would've thought there'd be 24 hr mex joints in Gwinnet. Maybe Buford Highway but not Gwinnet
