Diarrhea, Cramps, Gas, Stomach Pain

1 year ago

On my last day of a week vacation, I developed stomach cramps and diarreah. I’ve been back in NY for 3 weeks and I still have a stomach ache and diarreah. I was given antibiotics but it didn’t help. Stool sample was negative for all the usual... See More baddies, like ecoli or parasites. A dr./Friend suggested testing for pathogens common in DR, not the ones here. It’s another 3 week wait to see a gastroenterologist. I’ve been on the BRAT diet for 3 weeks. (Bananas, rice, applesauce, toast). If I deviate, it’s instant diarreah. But on the diet, I can go 2-3 days with no bowel movement. But when I go again, it’s back to diarreah. My husband is fine. It was our 3rd time at the resort. First 2, no problems. But we commented that the food was always room temperature when it was served. Nothing we had, was hot. From the pancakes to any dinner. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Cramps, Gas, Stomach Pain See Less

Diarrhea, Vomiting, Cramps

4 years ago

We have traveled for over 25 years and I've never gotten sick. We travel to The Melia Punta Cana from July 17th to 24th 2019. My daughter and my wife vomited the third day. My daughter had stomach cramps the whole week. And then my wife and... See More I vomiting and diarrhea at the same time for about 10 hours straight. It was the worst time of my life. I have never experienced anything like this before. I have a suspicion that they are putting something in the drinks. There is a beater bar that when they make certain drinks you can not see them they go into a room. I can't think of anything else on why we would have gotten sick. Like I said before we were traveling for over 25 years and never experienced anything like this. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Vomiting, Cramps See Less

Diarrhea, Fever, Nausea, Vomiting, Other, Weakness

4 years ago

On our second day of vacation to the Dominican Republic (June 28, 2019)me and my girlfriend were relaxing on the beach, we had already eaten breakfast and it was getting close to lunch time. We had dozed off for a little while and when I woke up... See More she had asked if I wanted to go eat lunch and I immediately started to feel really nauseous. I told her that I needed to go back to the room because I knew that I was going to throw up. We proceeded back to the room and when we got there I took a drink of water and went right to the bathroom. I threw up, it wasn’t a lot but right after I felt better. I sat down in the room to collect my self and drink some more water and I started feeling worse again. I threw up and had diarrhea for around 15-16 hours. I was completely depleted of all liquids and food, I drank as much water and Gatorade as I could but nothing would stay in my system. I finally was able to sleep for a little while and when I woke up I didn’t throw up again for the rest of the trip but the diarrhea continued. The food on this resort was bad even before I had gotten sick but I could hardly stand to eat anything there afterwards. It took me about 4 days to get to feeling back to somewhat normal. The morning after I got sick I took these supplements called “Remedy” by 1st Phorm. I swear these were a life savor for me. They are claimed to treat a hangover but all in all it’s just a ton of vitamins and minerals packed into a pill. I would recommend any person who is traveling anywhere to bring these because before I took them I was so weak and drained I could hardly make it from the bed to the bathroom. I took these supplements and within a few hours I could walk around and take care of my self for the most part. After talking it over with my girlfriend and trying to figure out what I ate and what she didn’t, we realized it had to be from the breakfast buffet where I ate this traditional Dominican chicken dish that was served out of a stainless steel warming bowl on the Buffett. I have to say that I cannot recommend going to this resort after dealing with what happened to me and I honestly probably won’t be returning back to this country after the countless things that just went wrong from our trip. I hope this helps someone out, so far I haven’t had any more symptoms of poisoning but if I do I will be going to the doctor.

Suspected food poisoning. Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Cramps, Chills
Suspected source: McDonald's McChicken Sandwich
Onset: More than 2 days
Duration: Several days
Sick: Me
Additional information: Ate a McChicken with no mayonnaise from McDonald's drive thru on 2/26. It tasted weirdly sweet and the chicken patty had a... See More wet texture to it, like it wasnt cooked/fried long enough before it was served. Had night sweats and nausea for a few days after eating, then on 3/3 started having abdominal cramps, rumbling, and diarrhea. The McChicken is the only recent thing in memory that I've eaten that nobody else in my family did, and only I'm sick currently. Also haven't attended any big gatherings recently, so it's unlikely (but still possible ig) to be anything viral. I very rarely get diarrhea (last time I did was back in 2018) so something's definitely not right here regardless. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Cramps, Chills, Night Sweats, Stomach Pain See Less
