Chicken Selects Illness Report - McDonald's, Bury England

Park 66 Pilsworth Road, Bury, BL9 8RD England, United Kingdom

Ordered via Just Eat at 9:47pm on 11/01/2025. I ate chicken selects, my partner had a double quarter pounder with cheese - he is fine, I am not. Was awake between around 4am-7:30am with chills, stomach cramping, and audible (and I could feel it, too) bubbling sounds in my stomach. I then experienced nausea, followed by loose stools between 5:30am-6:30am. I managed to sleep more, and woke at around 10am with awful diarrhoea (type 7 on Bristol stool chart), stomach cramps, stomach pain, headache, and aching all over body (especially in spine, shoulders and neck). After being on the toilet for around half an hour, I then stood up to wash my hands, then fainted about 2 minutes after getting off the toilet. My arms were twitching once I was conscious again, and I felt (and still do feel) very weak. It’s now 11:45am and I feel nauseated, I’m in so much pain in my neck, spine and shoulders, and I can feel and hear my stomach bubbling. It’s so loud that my dog keeps looking over at me, confused! I have a headache (back/base of head and also at the front of my head) albeit it’s currently mild, however I have taken painkillers (paracetamol, and my repeat morning medication which includes pregabalin and naproxen - and also omeprazole, but this is prescribed purely to reduce risk from taking naproxen, rather than due to a stomach issue). For reference, I have IBS, confirmed via multiple tests including colonoscopy and bowel biopsy around 13 years ago. I only have food sensitivity/triggers from chilli, which I avoid. Whilst I do experience regular IBS flare-ups, I can say with 100% certainty that what I’m experiencing right now is not IBS, as I am extremely aware of what my flare-ups feel like, and what my ‘normal’ is vs. what isn’t (ie. when I have a bug/virus/food poisoning, including salmonella which was confirmed in 2012 by GP, and ecoli which was confirmed by GP in 2016/2027, unsure exactly). | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Stomach Pain, Chills, Headache, Cramps, Itching, Other, Weakness, Body Ache
