Chicken Toastie Health Alert - Costa Coffee, Cheadle England

Earl Road, Cheadle, SK8 6PT England, United Kingdom

I went with my family to here (Stanley Green Retail Park, Earl Road, Cheadle Hume, Cheadle) on 29th April 2023 for lunch. Myself and my brother both ate chicken. I ate a chicken and bacon toastie and my brother ate a pizza wrap. On Sunday 30th April 2023 my brother was awake during the night being violently sick and unwell with bad diarrhoea. He was in bed for 2 days and although his symptoms have now stopped, he is only just getting his appetite back after 5 days. Then on Sunday night I started with a headache and then Monday I was being violently sick along with diarrhoea. My symptoms were even worse than my brothers, as I am Type 1 Diabetic and on insulin. I had to call 111 for advice as my blood sugars were low and I couldn't treat it because I kept vomiting. They advised me to go to A&E which I did. I had to go on two drips. I had ketones which are basically poisons in my body from being so poorly with my Diabetes. I only came home on Wednesday and although my symptoms have subsided, I still have stomach cramps and loss of appetite. 3 doctors at the hospital confirmed it was food poisoning. The doctors all asked what I had eaten and I told them I had a chicken and bacon toastie and they asked when I had it. They said it was definitely the chicken in the toastie, as it worked out right with the date I ate it at there | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Cramps, Headache, Loss of Appetite, Other
