What on earth is wrong with me?

could OH lasso some for you

I have yet to get to grips with juggling jellies .

I had campylobacter. It was awful. I felt so ill. Got it from some undercooked chicken in an Indian restaurant. I had only gone to be sociable as workmates wanted to go there. I don't even like Indian food.

welbeck your last line has me a bit

Not sure where you are based, but we don't have wild jelly around here, and I have my doubts about Mr P's wrangling abilities.

That reminded me, welbeck

Ginger ale could be good

If campylobacter it is a notifiable disease as your doctor will have told you.
Every sympathy - get well soon!

When DS2 had a similar infection, tests showed it to be campylobacter and it was tracked down to a pub where he'd had lunch. The salad vegetables had been stored in the fridge where they could be contaminated by raw meat. The symptoms do sound very like yours Phoenix. I think DS had antibiotics. After some years, he has decided to be a vegan.

don't have a glass of anything.
only little sips, gingerly. very slowly, and spaced out.
and why not try some jelly if you fancy it.

Jelly would be fine, it contains sugar

How horrible, surely it must go soon.

Mr P bought some apple juice today, will be having a glass (diluted) in a mo.

I keep fancying jelly the sort that's served (or used to be) at children's parties!

Think I'll pass on the Actimel for now, Jane staying clear of dairy until stomach a bit more settled.

Probably be about March the way things are going!

Oh dear. Try diluted apple juice. How about Actimel or similar? Could that help your upset gut?

Jane10 tbh, I can't says it's made as much of a difference as I had hoped, in fact hardly any. Still getting incredible that pain.

curvygran950 yes I've heard that. The doctor also recommended diluted Apple juice.

Flat coke ( the drink!) is a good alternative to dioralyte and has sugar as well as salts . Not Diet Coke , though .

Sorry to hear its still persisting Phoenix. I hope the Codeine is helping the pain anyway.

Callistemon I'm spending enough time on the toilet as it is!

Even with the codeine there were 8 trips last night, I imagine if I added magnesium into the mix I would have to rig up some sort of device to enable me to sleep on the loo!

I was going to suggest magnesium for cramps but that helps alleviate constipation, so perhaps not!

When I had Norovirus a few years ago I found crumbling an OXO cube in a mug then adding boiling water helped me feel better.

48 hours for results!

Something I have noticed that's likely to be related to salt intake is some cramp in my hands and feet. Will probably have some clear chicken broth type soup later or beef consomme, will add some salt to that.

I hope the results come back quickly

The rice is a strong possibility.

I haven't heard any reports about that product causing problems but presumably the lab will test for that bacterium too.

Oh dear, keep up the fluids and salts!
You must be exhausted.

Thanks for the update, phoenix....I've been thinking about you, wondering how things were going.
If your husband is ok then it can't be a virus. Sounds as though it could have been the rice.

I meant pot noodles are horrid, Naked Rice is pretty good.

Well, another night with 8 visits between 10.55 and 7.15.

Callistemon Naked Rice is sort of dried rice that you add boiling water too (bit like horrid pot noodles, but additive free). I have been having it for lunch a couple of times a week as bread at lunchtime seems to make me sleepy these days.

I've never heard of Naked Rice but rice contains a bacterium called bacillus cereus which can cause food poisoning.
This usually occurs if the rice has been pre-cooked and not cooled down really quickly which some food establishments used to do (they should not be doing this any more). If it is left in warm heaps for reheating later then toxins can develop.

I once had awful diarrhoea whilst abroad, and was going to the loo literally every 2 - 3 mins for about 7 hours and thought I'd die of dehydration! My OH had codeine luckily and I took those with Imodium, not recommended incidentally, and didn't go again for about a week!
Hope you improve quickly phoenix, it's so debilitating.
