food poisoning

[papajoe]

I haven't been checking the forum Since Tuesday. I believe I had a case of Food poisoning. I went to a friend's birthday party in a foriegn land ( Outback's Restaurant) last Tuesday night and ordered salad. They brought a house salad with dressing already on it. The only other thing I had was water no ice with lemon. I woke up Wednesday morning vomiting with diarrea. This continued all day with about 3 cases of vomitting and diarrea about every half hour.The diarrea was clear and I had no fever or other signs which might indicate a flu Virus ( I haven't even had a cold for ten years!) so I drank Chamomille mint tea. and After each diarria Drank a liter of green drink made with Barleans greens or E3live. to keep hydrated. My stomach was gurgling all day. That night I did a wheat grass enema went to bed at 6pm. got up at 8AM Thursday no vomiting but diarrea continued all day.
had a green Smoothie( peach, plum, grapes, grapefruit juice, spinach. ) continued with green drinks when needed. Also took some Probiotics and Enzymes to try and breakdown whatever was in my stomach. Thursday night enema. bed 7 pm. Friday morning. Diarrea continued until about noon when I passed a lot of gas and then had a dark brown thicker BM. The diarrea stopped. I had normal bms Saturday.I am glad I am raw but I am also thankful for all the Information I have found over the years to help the body heal itself and recognise symtoms when they occur.

papajoe,

Food poisoning - nasty stuff! It certainly looks like you know how to take care of yourself when you need to!

Thanks for sharing your not so great experience - makes eating at home the ideal.

Did you have anything other than the salad with the dressing at the restaurant? If I am eating raw and eating well for a few weeks and then eat some cooked food (like meats, pastas, and things of that nature) that are poorly combined or that my body is not used to having, then a similar experience occurs. Whether that is a classic case of food poisoning I don't know, but it sure is awful. So, you have my empathies.

I am curious about the need for enemas if you are having diarrhea? Your colon is certainly not in need of cleaning out? It almost sounds like you are having a reaction like I do when eating cooked foods after a time of not eating them.

All I had was Salad. I figured the Enema and implants might help to strengthen the liver and remove toxins. I also started back oil pulling on Friday morning. I am resting and fasting this weekend to allow my body some healing time. I have my own business and worked 9 to 5 during all of this.
