Poor you!!! thats horrible.. i often suffer the trots myself for various reasons, I know what its like!

However - I doubt in this instance it was in fact food poisoning. Had it been FP, it would have lasted quite a bit longer, by a day or two. Sounds to me like you had a short bug that your body was able to get rid of quickly.

some people say to take immodium or the like in this situation, but I actually disagree with this. If your body is upchucking or giving you the trots, it means that there is something inside you that needs to be gotten rid of. the best thing you can do is stick with liquids and keep the liquids going, even if you drink a glass of water and then throw it up, you are keeping some of it down.

Last year I was sitting in my living room, when i all of a sudden spiked a very high fever (think 103 within five min from normal) and got the trots and puking. Within four hours, i was back to normal. doc says it was gastro enteritis, and my body just killed it off quickly.

Glad your feeling better!
