I believe that I contracted food poisoning from flight ET500 from ADD -> IAD. I landed at IAD at around 09:00 5/25 and later that afternoon had one episode of diarrhea (approx 15:00). It passed but then at about 21:00 I woke to severe cramping and multiple episodes of diarrhea. I eventually had 13 episodes and sought medical care in the ED where GI stool testing showed I had 4 types of E. coli - most likely from a food source. The symptom onset timeline makes me concerned it was from the food served aboard the plane. Furthermore about 2 hours before the end of flight ET500 the port side bathroom in business class had run out of toilet paper - either reflecting that other individuals had started feeling ill or the poor hygiene practices of the airline. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Stomach Pain, Cramps
