I need food poisoning help!

[k10]

Please help me!

I just went out to eat and got an omelet with cheddar cheese, toast with butter/jelly, home fries, and coffee. This was at about 12:30. Now it's 3pm & I'm feeling a little n* and i had a little d* less than an hour ago. I feel like I might have d* again soon. Also about an hour ago my roommate who went out to eat as well said her stomach felt weird but she wasn't sure if it was just because she drank a lot of coffee this morning (she had 4 cups whereas she usually only has 1 or 2)

I just burped and got that acidy taste in my mouth that's what set me over the edge with fear & now i'm in my bed shaking writing this message. I also took a Zantac incase it's just heartburn, but I haven't gotten heartburn bad enough to cause acid in the mouth for years! And I eat eggs, toast, and potatoes all the time! I've eaten them at this same restaurant before and I've been fine. The n* might be from the anxiety this is giving me or from fp* but I don't know!

I know the foods I had aren't exactly "high risk" for fp* but they could have been handled improperly (like raw eggs or meat coming in contact with the cooked food) and thats whats freaking me out.

What should I do? Do you think this is food poisoning? How can I avoid v*ing?

If you had food poisoning, you wouldn't feel a little nauseous of have a little diarreah, you would feel extremely nauseous (where even moving from lying down make you feel sick). More likely the sheer amount of dairy, milk, coffee, eggs, butter which all contain lots of lactulose, which is a stool softner and will cause small amounts of diarreah. You will be absolutely fine, also you took a Zantac which will help. Also drink lots of water, as dehydration can cause acid heartburn.

From what I understand, (and I took a food safety course where there was a hefty chapter on food poisoning, which is no fun if you have emetophobia BTW) If you were getting d* that quick, without v*, then it sounds like the food is already working it's way out of your body. Diner foods aren't the best quality foods to eat, they usually don't even use real eggs while scrambling or making an omelet. So your stomach might just not like the "fake eggs" and cheese. If you have any Emtrol around that will help with nausea. Take deep breaths, drink flat ginger ale, and try to apply pressure on the center of the tendons on your wrist for a good minute, that will help also. It doesn't sound like food poisoning, just your body disagreeing with you a little bit.

Hey sweetie, how are you doing? It doesn't sound like fp to me. Fp is quick and not selective about 'exit points' iykwim!. It sounds like an overload of diner food to me. You'll be fine. Xx

do you have IBS? greasy food can cause an IBS attack. diner food is so heavy in general, if i eat a big meal like that I feel like i've a brick in my stomach.

also coffee/juice can cause d*

Anything you would get from undercooked eggs (salmonella (very rare from eggs! I use raw eggs in salad dressing all the time)) or from your food coming in contact with raw meat (e-coli, salmonella, etc.) would take longer than 2.5 hours to start showing symptoms. Most types of food poisoning take more like 12-48 hours.

Thanks everyone! I think it was just an upset stomach from the greasy food :/ I didn't v* so it's all good! I was just nervous because my roommate and I started feeling kinda sick at the same time.
