After about an hour or so of eating the sushi I became very bloated and had a minor stomachache but then after time went by the pain progressed. I had terrible PAINFUL stomach cramps and diarrhea.

I almost felt like I could vomit from the pain alone, and from wanting this pain out of my stomach. Just when I thought the pain was gone and I released it all, a new wave of pain came flooding in.
