Food poisoning

I have had food poisoning from the staff canteen at work, had a turkey bap from real turkey meat not the sliced meat. Been sick 7 times with bad toilet. Had a jacket potato after 24 hours with no food, been drinking lots of water. Anyone know what I else I can do as my stomach is still crampy.

Had this nearly 2 days now, so angry as the people who run the canteen don't seem all there especially the manager. I rang my line manager who said let me guess you have food poisoning from the canteen - so obviously others have it too.
There isn't a lot you can do about it. Just stay away from food or have something like toast if you can and keep up your fluids. If you've been ill with it for 48hrs then it will proabably pass soon...

Just keep drinking water.

Keep drinking and get rest. If you're feeling medieval, you could always try a couple of leeches :wink:
Keep drinking water but if it does persist then you may have to go see your GP.
Within 48 hours you should be over the ****s and vomiting side of it. Just continue drinking plenty of water, possible some rehydration salts mixed in.

If the canteen is really being run that poorly call Environmental Health and notify them that your work canteen is a health hazard and food that you bought and consumed from them gave you food poisoning. They'll give the place a good search, conduct tests and can even close the place down and fine the owners.
