me and my fella have been out for a meal (tasted very nice btw) and within an hour of eating both of us had dihorrea although we didnt feel unwell.


i now feel a bit iffy and the dihorrea is continuing. could it be food poisoning or is it too fast? it couldnt be a bug that we both have as i havnt seen him for weeks other than tonight.

cheers

    It'd depend what food it was tbh. Something like dodgy fish would go through you quicker than some other stuff.

    Hi Mel,
    How are you feeling? Better I hope.
    Diarrhoea is mainly caused by viral or bacterial infections or also, as you have suggested, it might be food poisoning. However I think JsT is right - it probably will depend on what you've eaten.

    You will probably find it helpful to read this article as it gives more info on reasons and symptoms.

    Take care ;)
