I had food poisoning once. It took about 12 hours after I ate the food to start feeling really sick and about another 24 to get over the throwing up and diarrhea, and another 24 to get my strength back.

Answer 4

it depends person-to-person.....you could p**p it out in 8 or so hours or a few days

Answer 5

Not too sure, never had it. Could it be the flu?

Answer 6

Eat Yogurt it has good bacteria that will eat the bad bacteria thats inside you from the bad food you ate. Also if you know of anything in your home that has acidofulous take that too. One time I went to (Alpha Beta) and bought a giant submarine sandwich made inside a french bread for $6.00 and took it home and ate a piece, later I got a bad fever and couldnt get out of bed for that whole day with a bad stomach ache, it lasted about 2 to 3 days, I thought it was the flu but never had it that bad before, after I came back my wife showed me the sandwich, inside of it was all green, later I went to Alpha Beta again and inspected all their meat and found alot of green bad meat, I informed the supervisor of the store to clean up his act, later I inspected again after a week or two, and foung the same thing so I had to report it as I had told the supervisor I was going to do if his act wasnt cleaned up.

Answer 7

Usually 2 to 3 days...however if it is a strong bacterial infection it could go on and on.

What you have is a bacterial imbalance in the form of bad bacteria in your stomach and what your stomach needs is to change the imbalance of bad bacteria versus good bacteria in your stomach.

This can be accomplished by taking high quality "Probiotic" capsules found at a good health food store.

Probiotics are the best way to restore the good bacteria in your stomach which will suppress the bad bacteria that is the cause of the food poisoning.

Look it up on the Internet and you will learn that the levels of good bacteria in your stomach are essential to good health and good bacteria in your stomach is the first line of defense against the numerous varieties and levels of bad bacteria found in any food you eat.

It is recommended people consume Probiotic capsules as a regular part of good stomach health.

If your food poisoning situation grows worse you can get  numerous over the counter medicines that basically attack and kill the bacterial infection but you should still consume the Probiotic capsules to restore the good bacteria levels in your stomach.

I hope this helps you as I have been there before and I know the Probiotics work.

Answer 8

I would see my Doctor, and this stuff can make you pretty sick. you may need a certain medication to kill the bacterial.  God bless, and will keep you in my prayers.

Answer 9

It can take a few days for you to stop feeling crummy.  If you take some pepto bismol that will help alot.  You don't need to take the liquid.  They have caplets now that you don't need to taste, just swallow with some water.

Follow that with some yogurt to help restore the natural bacteria in your stomach and intestines.  It'll make you feel much better.

Answer 10

You should go to the doctor and get checked out because food poisoning can lead to dehydration and even intestinal infection so you really should go and find out if your going to be OK.

Take care of yourself OK?

Answer 11

I really must warn you and tell you to search google for the story I read about food poisoning.  New research has indicated that food poisoning can KILL you even ten or twenty years later.  It scars up your kidneys and you can develop kidney FAILURE.  So it is in your best interest to contact a lawyer and keep samples of your puke from onset in a plastic bag in the refridgerator for a laboratory test.  Good Luck

Answer 12

It depends on the individual, how much they eat of the infected food & how quick they recover does largely depend on their age & general health.

Answer 13

You poor thing....I know exactly how that feels and it is not fun!! Just drink fluids and eat light like soup, crackers, and jello, pudding, stuff like that until your stomach is back to normal. It shouldn't be too much longer. I will pray for you to feel better really fast.
