Got my normal smoothie but added in banana and chia seeds and at first nothing was wrong but a couple hours later, I couldn’t sleep and my stomach felt terrible and I finally went to sleep for about 2 hours and then woke up and vomited. Then about another hour passes by and I’m back vomiting. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting

Lot of quick vomiting after eating can be allergic, unless you got a blast of Staph A, most virus and bugs (bacteria) take time > 2 hrs like 24-36 hrs for bug 🐛 to jump you.

Hi, thanks for your comment - but this is not entirely true. You CAN get sick from food that quick. If the contamination is chemical or physical, symptoms can start within minutes. If it is biological contamination it can start as fast as 30 minutes (e.g. staph). Other types of contamination can take longer, it all depends on what it was, but it can be fast!
