Grilled Romaine Causes Giardia - OB Surf Lodge, San Diego California

5083 Santa Monica Avenue, San Diego, 92107 California, United States

Within a couple hours of eating the grilled romaine here I began to feel flush and faint, by the evening I was violently ill and by the morning I was in the emergency room. I thought it was just food poisoning so I waited for it to make its course. When the illness would not subside I finally got a stool sample done and it turns out they gave me a parasite, giardia lamblia. I was violently ill for 3 weeks and then mildly ill for about 2 months. Over the course of the first month I was in the ER 4 times due to dehydration and extreme nausea. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Dehydration
