Tomato Soup Sickness Strikes - Ikea, Renton Washington

9 years ago reported by user-nwch8673

IKEA Seattle Home Furnishings, Southwest 41st Street, Renton, WA, United States

Renton, 98057 Washington, United States

I ate tomato soup that tasted totally off , like a old wet bacteria filled dish rag/sponge. That was all I ate since Thursday morning at 10:05, with the exception of a few bananas I have been able to hold down. By 7 that night I was violently puking up the soup. All night it continued. My stomach behaved in a way I have never seen lurching in and up, seemingly moving my stomach upwards. I was crying out loudly dispite thar fact that ibwas afarid I would wake my sleeping kids, who I didnt want to get up and find me like that. I have had diarrhea, severe cramping like birthing contractions, dizziness, nausea, extreme gas from both ends, mulitpile fevers, chills and sweating. Drinking water makes me hurt more as I also have heartburn beyond anything I experienced when the only time I have had it, when 1 was in my thrid trimester with my first son 10 years ago. I force myself to drink it so I can stay somewhat hydrated. I am in very good health and very rarely get sick. My whole family has had various illness throughout the whole house hold and I have not even gotten a cold. It is now Sunday night. The heart burn got so bad my whole chest was like a tight wall of pain when i needed to burp up all the acid. I was just lying with my kid reading to them for 20 minutes. Some of what I threw up at around 1 am on friday morning looked like blood clots in the toilet. I thought maybe at first it was still tomato soup, but that is not what tomates look like . Stringy and spidery.
I was horrified to find that with such violent vomiting that you can throw up throat or stomach lining. I also had dark black stool that is an indication of blood in my intestines. No food I had eaten in days attributed to that color. I'm living off pepto and ibprophen. If this does not clear up tomorrow I will ve going to a doctors. My insurance has a $2,000 deductible or I would have already been seen. Dispite work I had to miss a day of already , as there was no way I could make it in Friday. I got up once to pee and it took everything out of me. This is not the flu. Ive been back to work since Saturday morning working 11 and 12 hour shifts. I am 100% commission and this is months end of I would not have gone in. I have been having a bad month already , or I would still be called out. I'm walking talking thinking normally now, but in a lot of pain. I didn't have one day of morning sickness with either of my son's pregnancies. Cant remember the last time I threw up before now! | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Fever, Vomiting, Gas, Dizziness, Chills, Sweating, Heartburn, Cramps, Burping
