So, my husband and I went on our "honeymoon" to a local Inn and I ended up having to leave at 4am to go to the ER!!! The doc seemed convinced it was the stomach flu, but I am convinced it was food poisoning. Everyone else was ok, except for me.

We called and ordered food from a local delivery place, then I had to call because our delivery was messed up and cold! They redelivered and my husband and I had different things to eat. I had fettuccine Alfredo with bacon, tomato and peas, he had a turkey sandwich.

We ate around 8:30, I went to bed about 10:30 and at midnight I was getting sick. It was HORRIBLE!! Maybe this is TMI, but I had liquid coming out of both ends at the same time!! I was sitting on the toilet with a garbage can in my face.

Anyways, I went to the ER, had 2 liters (I think that's the size) of liquid, morphine and anti-nausea meds. Then they gave me more a different anti-nausea med later, when I was still feeling sick. I felt ok and got up to get dressed, I ended up dry heaving again! They gave me 2 more nausea pills. Then they sent me home with a prescription. I drove home as my husband doesn't drive, but I barely remember the drive, other than I felt sick the whole time. Besides I was completely exhausted and sleepy.

I got home around 9am Sunday morning and have been sleeping ever since. Well, obviously except for now. I have had one small applesauce (the lunch box size) and half a piece of toast. I am drinking Gatorade for the electrolytes and vitamins and sugar. I still have liquid bowel movements and don't have an appetite. Anything else I might consider? If I don't feel better by tomorrow I will call my doctor.

Sorry this is so long and TMI.....
