We had dinner at 7:00pm on November 8th which was my actual birthday.

I recall I had a bit of the spring mix, creamy basil dressing, chicken salad, street corn, and marinated jalapeños from the salad bar. I also had half a cup of the carrot soup.

As for the meats, I had the lamb chops, which had a slight taste of fish and there was no fish on my plate at any point.

The sirloin, and other cuts tasted great. But the lamb was wierd… there should not be any fish taste on lamb.

About 6 hours later, my stomach started to hurt. This was a sharp and grinding pain… that culminated in green diarrhea. No nausea… but I had to get up every 1 hour to release small amounts of this putrid stuff.

It was a cycle of pain, bathroom, pain, bathroom… couldn’t sleep the whole night.

I then had my birthday celebration which was an all day event. So I had no sleep and felt sick for what was supposed to be the best day of a really crappy year. And I was exhausted and miserable. I took Imodium and activated charcoal to get me through the day and that seemed to work. I would still have green diarrhea during every bathroom visit but without pain in my stomach.

Then, the next day, after breakfast, it started again… horrible pain and small frequent green bowel movements. and now it’s Monday and it’s still going on.

I’m starting a new job next Monday so I don’t have medical benefits yet so I can visit a doctor… but this all started after fogo de Chao on 11/8.

It sucks because I’ve eaten there before and everything was fine.

So I just wanna make sure no one else is experiencing this issue. My brother had the lamb too and is facing the same issue. And we are healthy people with no allergies… so this sucks. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Stomach Pain, Chills, Nausea
