Have you spoken to your rheumy nurse? I have never had any Gastric problems from RTX...it is more likely be the after effects of the food poisoning....but your nurse will know what to do now,

You have only had half your infusions...I don't know how long you can wait for the second dose ...so speak to your rheumy team ASAP...you don't want to miss out....it might be time sensitive.

Hi Maggie, just home after start of 4 set of rituximab, feeling quite nauseous and drained at the moment. I have felt like this before but it doesn’t usually last 3 weeks . Did you see your gp about the food poisoning as you do need to get this checked out when on biologics . Hope you feel better soon 🌸
