Hopefully you'll recover quickly enough after, sometimes these things can leave you feeling rough for a couple of weeks after.

I had what I assumed was food poisoning or stomach flu about 3 weeks before I was due to go to Antigua for my sisters wedding, late last year.

I've never felt so wretched in my life.

I progressively felt more icky during the day, but not too bad. Went home, and tried to watch a movie. I was home alone that weekend. Half way through I realised I was pretty ill and staggered to bed. I've never had such hot/cold shiver things, where I felt freezing, but was burning up, and yet didn't want to move to get more blankets (I eventually did).

Vommed twice during the night, which was pretty horrific. And then the squits started. That took about 3 days of eating nothing but bananas, toast and jam, and plain boiled rice (which seemed to pass straight through me) to start to clear.

It then took about 2 months for my "movements" to get back to normal, in which time I was in a lot of pain just before needing to take a dump.

Not fun. Do not want to repeat it. Ever.

Its so random though, i don't know anyone else who has had it, and i've not been sick in years, it just came out of nowhere.

I'm using it as an opportunity to reshuffle my diet, tucking into rice, steam veg and chicken tonight :D

Annoyingly, the day I had it, I'd eaten reheated rice, a warmed up breakfast muffin from an airport costa, and KFC.

No idea which of those caused it, KFC was a bit too late though, so my money was/is on the muffin.

Rice that is not kept in fridge one should not eat if older than a day, if in fridge about 5 days. The speed of cooling it down also matter it should take at the most 4 hours to reach fridge temp. The bacteria which rice have is Bacillus cereus.
