Cookie-Induced Gastro Distress - ShopRite, Wallington New Jersey

375 Paterson Avenue, Wallington, 07057 New Jersey, United States

I eat Chips Shoy! cookies quite often. Usually bounce between the ‘Original’ and the ‘Candy Blasts’. This time I got the ‘Original’ and oh boy! Bad time! I was sick for days!!! Must’ve been some type of virus??? IDK!! TWISTING, CRAMPY, GURGLING PAIN!! In my stomach! I was moaning/almost-screaming on the toilet. I finally got something out. At the same time/slightly before, my stomach bubbled and hurt even more for about 5 seconds, then the pain subsided a bit and I let it out. i couldn’t stop getting that pain and gas and diarrhea for 2 hours (I took 8 separate trips to the bathroom and they all were accompanied with the same pain, not as excruciating as the first round. But still very painful(stomach pain)!! This went on for days, after every time I ate. There was a point I just couldn’t eat. I couldn’t go out to eat with my Mother because I would have been in the restaurant bathroom for a very long time after eating some food. Very uncomfortable. Never experienced anything like that, as far as I know.

I thought it was something else I ate. However, I woke up a couple of days after the sickness slowed down and I ate a few of the same cookies from the same package, and wouldn’t you know it, my stomach started feeling the same pain as before. The 2nd time, I only ate a few. Maybe 3 or 4 MAX. So the pain lasted only a couple of hours after I went to the bathroom. Probably 3 hours total this time, but the pain and nausea was still lingering and I knew it was there so I had to be careful with what I ate.

Could it be a coincidence? I mean I guess, but I highly doubt it, and not sure what a doctor would think. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Stomach Pain, Gas
