A few days ago I decided to give Wingstop a try especially since a new one opened near me. I ordered a split of boneless and bone in wings with a side order of fries around 1830. Not only did my fries taste old and burnt, but
…
at least two of the bone in chicken wings tasted weird. I've been sick since around Monday and it feels like I'm feeling worse. I have a combination of diarrhea and constipation, nausea, lightheadedness, dizziness and a headache. In the morning if it doesn't get better, I'm going to the hospital.

I bought some grass fed patties, beef patties from Aldi's located in Fredericksburg, VA. And so the first patties I ate, I basically got sick within an hour after eating them and I actually was bleeding from my rear end. And so I didn't know what it
…
was. So I just assumed, you know, I didn't know it was the beef patties until I just opened a second pack about an hour and a half ago. And I am nauseous again and I feel like I want to throw up. So I'm almost positive there's a beef patties. They're not. They're the ones that are already formed in the beef patties. I do have two left. I tried to call all these, but you can't call their phone and because it said a recording, that's how we save money. We don't have phones in the store, but I am going to go in there tomorrow and tell the manager. But Oh yeah, I just realized it's got to be that because that's the only thing I eat and I feel really nauseous right now. And I already feel like I'm going to have diarrhea right now. My stomach is rumbling. Thank you.

I was in TLC. This is my after-school program. I ate Trix triple cherry yogurt and drank orange juice. At 3:17 PM my stomach started to hurt. I say it was the combination of dairy and citrus. DO NOT HAVE DAIRY AND CITRUS! My stomach pain went away.

Mother and I ate lunch there on Thursday, 2.30pm booking. She had the chicken starter, chicken and prawn main and fruit soup. At approx 6pm she was feeling nauseous with diarrhoea. Went back to our hotel where she was violently sick twice through the night, last time
…
at approx 10.30pm.
I had a different meal but did try a few forkfuls of her starter. I also had diarrhoea and was sick through the night. I am unsure if mine was from the food or the worry that I was going to be ill as well. Ruined the end of the holiday and we had to fly back feeling rough today. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting
