I strongly believe it was Red Blossom strawberries purchased at the grocery store. I noticed brown patches and spots resembling mud on some of the strawberries. I rinsed the berries under running water, cut out sections that appeared spoiled, sliced the berries, then ate a few pieces - probably the equivalent of 1 - 2 berries. I woke up this morning, approximately 10 1/2 hours later with constant diarrhea for about 1 1/2 hours. Diarrhea has subsided, but stomach cramping remains. I think it wasn’t worse because I only ate a few pieces. I tried to trace the berries at the website provided by Red Blossom on the bottom of the strawberry container, but when I entered the number indicated on the bottom of the container, with no spaces as directed, it says the number entered doesn’t match a number in their system. I triple checked the number and tried leaving the site and going back and reentering the number, all with no success. Now the diarrhea had subsided, it returned around 12:30 or 1:00 and has continued throughout today, at least once every hour | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Other, Cramps
