I usually don't eat out/at chipotle often, but after awhile of eating the same fast food joints, I decided to switch it up. I've never been a big fan of their "meat" options. I always either get chicken or steaks, and I've tried their barbacoa once, considering how unsatisfying the chicken and steak meat is to me there. Before I became sick, I chose steak. I ate most of it, and I remember tasting once steak piece in my mouth that was absolutely disgusting. It was like a burnt, ashy taste. I didn't even want to swallow. I just thought to myself "you're being dramatic/picky, it's not that bad" My biggest mistake was not spitting it out. I ignored it and just finished my last bite and threw the rest of the bowl away.
After a few hours I threw up the bowl. My first thought was "great I have food poising" I bought some gatorades, chicken noodle soup and just tried to take care of it myself. I noticed there wasn't a change, I was getting more uncomfortable everyday. I didn't have an appetite and felt like vomiting about 95% of the day. I decided I wasn't going to ignore my body signs and go to my doctor. I told her about my symptoms and how it all started. She had me take a breath test. A couple days later, I get positive results of Helicobacter Pylori. It's a bacterial that can eventually turn into stomach cancer if not treated correctly. She immediately prescribed me antibiotics. I've been taking 2 different pills everyday, every 12hrs. I starved for about 2 weeks because feeling nauseous all the time, doesn't make you want to eat at all. It's not a good combination and also I couldn't even hold down chicken noodle soup. I called my doctor about it all and she added a nausea pill to my daily medications and had me start a Bland Diet. It's been a month now and I'm finally finishing up my antibiotics and getting my appetite back to normal. I have a follow up appointment to test it again and make sure it's completely cured. I've had a very terrible/depressing month because of Chipotle's contaminated food. I actually went through a lot and cried myself to sleep once because of how starving I was and not being able to control it. I couldn't even force myself to eat. Explaining the sickness doesn't do much justice to what it actually felt like day to day but, I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. Do not eat chipotle. | Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting
