Food poisoning


Wed, July 28, 2010 10:05 AM

Does anyone have any experience with food poisoning?  My daughter has Crohn's and got sick from some bad grilled chicken at a restaurant.  She had a terrible night -- vomiting and diarrhea but it is OK now.  I am concerned this might send her into a flare up.  I called her Pediatric GI doctor, they don't seem to be too concerned.  If anyone has an experience to share I would appreciate it.

i thought i had food poisoning.  it is what lead to my crohn's diagnosis.  i have a serious stricture in my ileum.  when i eat things that are very fibrous.. raw broccoli, nuts etc it blocks my ileum and then i have 8 hours of *** .  my body starts racking up in pain, soaked in sweat and then i get these peristaltic movements that really hurt.  at the end of it i vomit for about three hours. 

i have learned to eat less fibrous stuff, and i drink lots of water.  no surgery yet but i know it is coming.

i hope it is simple food poisoning and not a small bowel stricture.

i don't know if my story helps.   good luck
