Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting

5 years ago

My sister and I went to IHOP in Harvard for lunch on Wednesday January 30th, 2019. She got cupcake pancakes and I got the classic steakburger with bacon. Upon arrival, I had noticed that the kitchen had forgotten to put the bacon on my burger. The waitress... See More apologized, and she said she would bring a couple strips to me. I didn't want to eat all of my burger before they brought the bacon to me, so I started eating my fries instead.

They were taking a very long time with the bacon, as I had almost finished all of my fries. My sister said I should start eating my burger before it got cold, and I was actually thinking the same thing. It was only a little warm, and it was rarer than I'd normally order (they forgot to ask me how I wanted it cooked). When they finally brought the bacon, I already ate half the burger. I finished it with the long-awaited bacon applied, and there was no problem (yet).

There were no symptoms for the rest of the day, and most of the next day. However, at around 8:00 PM, I started feeling nauseous. We had ordered Papa John's, and I felt sick before I even started eating. Around 9:00 PM, I felt terrible, so I went to the bathroom. Soon after, I violently vomited all of the Papa John's into the toilet. Not long after, I started having uncontrollable diarrhea that accompanied the vomiting. So here I am, soaked in my own diarrhea, hanging over the puke bucket, waiting for the next round. I ruined my comforter, throw blanket, sheet, and mattress pad in the process. I also ruined my nice Nike sweatpants that I had purchased fairly recently ($50.00 down the drain). Overcome by lethargy, I had no sense of time, and around 1:00 AM, I was brought to the Somerville ER by ambulance after I saw blood in my diarrhea.

The doctors took some samples, put me on an IV, and gave me antibiotics. At this time, my diarrhea was completely red, and not solid at all (not to mention that it smelled very unpleasant). I was transported to Cambridge Hospital to be kept as an inpatient for a few days. There they confirmed my suspicion that the burger was to blame. I was stuck on a clear fluid diet of broth and juice until my diarrhea subsided. I was then put on a BRAT diet to make sure I could keep solid food down.

By Saturday afternoon, I was back home, and I was able to attend school on Monday (I'm 17). What I've learned from this experience is to NEVER ORDER A BURGER FROM IHOP AGAIN. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting

I bought rotisserie chicken at this particular location. I had it for dinner on March 9th midnight, and ever since the meal, I had extreme case of diarrhea and bloating stomach while constantly burping terrible smell. The chicken was pink with trace of blood inside. On March... See More 10th, I’ve gone to the washroom for more than 15 times, on March 11th, I’ve gone for more than 15 times as well. Today I am still feeling quite bad. My body would feel cold and shivering, and since the morning I’ve gone to the washroom like 6 times already. My girlfriend also felt unwell like me. I went to the store asking for explanation on March 11th, while feeling extremely uncomfortable still. The store manager (I don’t know his exact title), besides telling us fill out a report form, was being very skeptical of our situation. He might believe the sickness was caused by other things we had even though we’ve specially told him this is the last thing we had. Furthermore, he kept bringing up that I’m not the member, in which my girlfriend is the member. I’ve only spoken to him because my girl isn’t too proficient in English. He kept saying I’m not the member therefore they can only speak to the member This is unbelievably arrogant and clueless. If anyone who had Costco’s product and got seriously injured, Costco is definitely responsible regardless the user is a member or not, especially when it comes to food safety. Although he promised his manger would call us today, once we missed one call from him in the morning (he also only called 1 number but we out down 2 numbers), we called back multiples times and no one picked up. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Bloating, Burping See Less

I have been using the milk for about a month now and go through a bottle every 2 weeks. (Funny enough, in hind sight, the dates line up with the new york article of the issues and the sale price that had me first consider it). First... See More bottle was fine. The second bottle marked for expiration in April had me nauseous and then throwing up on my birthday, severe nausea and a massive headache the next day and then gave me diarrhea the day after.
