Food poisoning or anxiety or something else??

Hello,

So last Monday (the 24th June) I came down with horrible diarrhoea (sorry for the tmi). I was peacefully eating a bbq at a friend’s house and then suddenly needed the urge for the toilet. I begged my mum to drop me back at our house and I have never ran to the toilet so quick.

I had a severe bout of diarrhoea which half was dark green!! I was shocked to see this as I hadn’t eaten any leafy greens the day before or anything. I tried to eat again the same day but again half an hour later I had the sudden urge to go again. At that moment I knew I had food poisoning/stomach bug.

The next day I felt severely nauseous and felt like I couldn’t eat anything. I was hungry and nauseous at the same time and my stool was still very loose. The third day it seemed to clear up better and my stools have become firmer since but are still very easily passed.

But I still feel VERY nauseous!! I feel so sick and have been feeling this way since Tuesday last week. As soon as I wake up the feeling of sickness hits me, I’ve never thrown up but I just feel so sick all the time. The only times I don’t feel sick is when I’m eating or chewing gum or I am distracted with other things. But every other time throughout the day I feel so sick and nauseous. Is this normal after food poisoning?? is this my anxiety?? Or something else??

I’m stressing out so much because I just feel so sick, it feels like the sick is in my throat and I’m always about to throw up! Yet it doesn’t seem to put me off eating food. I’ve also noticed strong smells like fish and meat intensifies the sickness.

Any ideas or advice on how to manage this would be highly appreciated! Thank you

Hi Sugarplum, Since you are still feeling some ill effects of food poisoning/24 hour bug,

I'd set up an appointment to see your doctor. He can look further into it and give you

a professional diagnosis instead of us just second guessing. Even though we have

anxiety issues, we can't blame anxiety for everything. Feel better soon. I hope you

get some answers. :) xx
