Sorry to bother you but, this food poisoning(or whatever the Hell I've got)is just ridiculous! I've crapped away 11 lbs of weight, this while only consuming 2 slices of toast since Wed. PM.

I'm drinking room temp water and pounding the Pepto.

I have no appetite.

On average, what am I looking at here? 1-2 more days?

There has to be something.

Oh, BTW, would drinking a little bit of Gatorade be helpful(electrolyte stuff)?


Sorry to bother you but I really appreciate it.




You guys be nice. My wife says I'm full of shit all the time. I finally agree with her!

Not anymore though!

Back to bed.

That seems like a long time for food poisoning. I would think you would shake it in 2-3 days TOPS. Any other symptoms? (fever)

Man I hope you feel better! If I lost 11lbs I would blow away!

 

[MadJack]

you'd be throwing up if it was food poisoning. me thinks you have some sort of intestinal flu. load up on the kaopectate (sp?) or some other strong anti-shittin meds. i had what you describe about 2 years ago and it lasted about a week.

Hi Agent. No fever but I have the sweats(I guess that makes sense).

Just layin' here watching some golf. Whole bunch of no names but it's still golf.

Thanks for checking in.

I think I've killed 4 bottles of Pepto already Jack. I agree with you, it must be intestinal. Never puked during this ordeal.

Gonna try some chicken broth.

Thanks Jack.

very important! drink lots of fluids because you're going to be dehydrated.

Was going to post this exact same thing....becoming dehydrated is very very dangerous :sadwave:

My wife was in the hospital because of it.


Dehydration means your body does not have as much water and fluids as it should. Dehydration can be caused by losing too much fluid, not drinking enough water or fluids, or both. Vomiting and diarrhea are common causes.

The elderly and those with illnesses are also at higher risk.

Dehydration is classified as mild, moderate, or severe based on how much of the body's fluid is lost or not replenished. When severe, dehydration is a life-threatening emergency.

AD will help but get to a doctor right away. The bacteria in your intestines might be out of whack--more bad than the good ones--try some acidophilus with bifidus tabs.--hope you don't have c-diff. Take care

 

[Nole]

Thanks very much guys. I'm really drinking a lot of water, worrying about dehydrating, so I think I'm OK there.

Just this continuous upset stomach and the sweats is pissing me off. I've got the air down to 74 and the ceiling fans on full.

Hope I don't croak on you. I mean, football's coming up!

Thanks again everyone.

Need help here, what's c-diff?

After I found out, I'll check the Net and see how long I have to live.

I could be wrong but I thing it's a bacteria found in someones intestines. You'll be here for Football.... :mj07:

[Jake DeNiro]

It is a bacteria in someone's body.....

For what he wrote, here you are.

Other names that the disease can be known as are:

Clostridium Difficile Colitis, Antibiotic-Associated Colitis, C. Difficile, C. Dif, C.D., A.A.C.D. and C.D.C.

 

[SixFive]

it's not cdiff unless he's been sick before this and on lots of antibiotics and in the hospital. Cdiff=Clostridium Dificile, and it sucks, but I doubt that's it. You might end up having to go to the ER to get some fluids. I think that's too long for diarrhea and no food intake. I had this last year, went to the ER, got 2 liters of IV fluids, and I snapped out of it fast afterwards. See, guys in the NBA, MLB, NHL, and NFL get this stuff just like we do, but they have medical staff on standby to put in an IV and load them up with fluids. It cuts your recovery time down a ton. That's why you hear about MJ or Dwayne Wade playing with the "flu" and still getting off. GL!

 

[Jake DeNiro]

SixFive.....that's what happened to my wife, in the hospital, hooked up and then back to normal.

 

[new redneck]

nole, kill that friggen bacteria ! get drunk !!bacardi and coke would be my rec, as coke is good for upset stomachs !!

11 lbs., you are down to playing weight now. I usually drink about 4-5 Grey Goose Vodka's a night, and let me tell you, it can cure what ails you....drink gatorade and plenty of water as you seem to be doing. Hope you feel better because I just recruited you into my Fantasy Football league, and now you will be in shape...

Hang in bud, I will shoot you an email.
