Roast Beef Illness Suspected - Arby's, Washington Township New Jersey

5600 New Jersey 42, Washington Township, 08012 New Jersey, United States

My kids had chicken sliders, pizza sliders, ham and cheese sliders, and curly fries. I was the only one to get a classic roastbeef sandwich. My kids ate all the curly fries, I literally got a piece of one. I am the only one who consumed roastbeef, the sesame seed bun, and Arby's sauce. I am the only one who got sick. Within an hour after eating I was feeling bloated and crampy. Not long after that I began to feel nauseous. I decided to try some indigestion medication (from my medicine cabinet and in date) since I dont eat fast food often I was thinking it was some side effects from my body not being used to the quality? of food I had consumed. I decided to go to bed shortly after trying to use the bathroom to no avail. I was laying on my left side and dealing with horrible cramping at this point, causing me to break a sweat. I managed to fall asleep somehow because the next thing I know, I woke up running to the bathroom. I had very awful stomach pain and very gross, hot, pure liquid, yellow (as I came to find out) diarrhea. I felt like I could vomit but did not. I went back to bed. I did not feel well at all but managed to fall asleep again. Within an hour, I was again running to the bathroom with the same symptoms and outcomes. I had 6 bouts of this so far but I am also finding more time is passing between each episode and I am feeling much less nauseous, bloated, and crampy. I also found with each episode I am producing less diarrhea. The cramping only seems to hit now when I need to get to the bathroom and that is all. I wanted to point out that while I never vomited, I could have easily "forced" myself to or let myself. I gagged a few times with the first 2 or 3 episodes and had the watery mouth but successfully did not vomit. I still felt nauseous the rest of the night/early morning and with the following episodes but not vomit inducing nausea with any more gagging or watering mouth. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Bloating, Cramps, Stomach Pain, Sweating, Migraine, Indigestion
