Cadbury Egg Illness Report - Cadbury, Grayslake Illinois

295 U.S. 45, Grayslake, 60030 Illinois, United States

I ate half of a Cadbury Creme Egg around 3:30pm Saturday afternoon (yesterday) & threw the rest out… by 7:20pm or so I started getting severe & excruciating chest pains like indigestion or heartburn.  I took Tums & Gas-X, but that didn’t seem to help, then I took 1 laxative (Dulcolax) and got in bed around 8:00pm because the chest pain was so severe.  I began getting extremely cold and was shivering under my covers even when I kept raising the thermostat. A couple hours later I was tossing & turning and shaking extensively… my whole body was in severe pain so then I finally took 2 Advil PM’s.  Then sometime around 3:00/3:30am is when I was feeling extremely nauseous so I ran to the bathroom and vomited a lot, it was a light brown color like the chocolate egg and it was smooth looking (not chunky throw-up) and also a lot of diarrhea and at the same time… I also would get extremely hot and sweaty so I had to rip off my pajamas …. Then I got back in bed, but maybe 15 minutes later I was back on the toilet with more diarrhea and more vomiting.  This carried on and off until about 5:30am.  I was finally able to sleep until maybe 10:30 AM but this entire day I’ve had a severe headache and the extra strength Excedrin I took twice today hasn’t even been helping much… also light dizziness and nausea all day too and I spent most of it in bed.  Anyway, it’s 10:00 pm now and I’m still in bed not feeling well… still not back to feeling 100% again.. I live in Lincolnshire, Illinois and my friend gave it to me… he bought it at a Walgreen’s in Grayslake and brought it to me. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting, Headache, Dizziness, Indigestion, Gas, Chest Pain, Shaking, Heartburn, Sweating, Body Ache
