I will make an appointment to confirm with my doctor tomorrow. I was not going to go through the hassle until the manager at Sabrro completely dismissed the possibility that I got sick from there. I teach the food safety manager courses, I know the rules, I

know it is possible for me to have gotten sick. I did not appreciate her dismissal. I had severe vomiting and diarrhea for the past 2 days. When I initially bit into my pepperoni Stromboli it was cold. It's possible I did not get sick from there, but they were the only place I ate from up to that point. So now I am attempting to prove it , and bring it to upper management about their lack of understanding and dismissal of my concern.

I'm going to call the local health department and report it.
