Buffet Illness: Quick Onset - Buffet, Playa del Carmen Quintana Roo

Playa del Carmen, 77710 Quintana Roo, Mexico

January 8, 2024. Ate at the buffet around 4pm at Xcaret Park. Instantly felt bloated and knew I was going to be sick. My daughter in law vomited right away and felt better. I resisted and by 7:30 pm during the evening show developed diarrhea so bad I couldn't leave the bathroom the entire remainder of the show. That night I slept on the bathroom floor in our Airbnb with nausea vomiting and diarrhea. I had to see a doctor the next day for a shot for the vomiting and to get on loperamide and ciprofloxacin. This was the only way I could get on our plane home Jan. 9. The buffet inside the park | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Bloating
