What to do if you have food poisoning?
When you are trying to figure out what to do after food poisoning, according to the Mayo Clinic you should help keep yourself comfortable and prevent dehydration while you recover. In addition, try the following: Let your stomach settle. Stop eating and drinking for a few hours. Try sucking on ice chips or taking small sips of water. You might also try drinking clear soda, clear broth or non-caffeinated sports drinks, such as Gatorade. You're getting enough fluid when you're urinating normally and your urine is clear and not dark. Ease back into eating. Gradually begin to eat bland, low-fat, easy-to-digest foods, such as soda crackers, toast, gelatin, bananas and rice. Stop eating if your nausea returns. Avoid certain foods and substances until you're feeling better. These include dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and fatty or highly seasoned foods. Rest. The illness and dehydration can weaken and tire you.

Current Multistate Food Poisoning Outbreaks
When two or more people get the same illness from the same contaminated food or drink, the event is called a foodborne or food poisoning outbreak. Reporting illnesses to your local health department helps them identify potential outbreaks of foodborne disease. Public health officials investigate outbreaks to control them, so more people do not get sick in the outbreak, and to learn how to prevent similar outbreaks from happening in the future. Here is a list of current multistate foodborne illness outbreaks.

“My mom and I had a late lunch there Saturday, 1/4/2020. We both ordered the exact same thing--chicken tortilla soup and Alice Springs Chicken Quesadilla with honey mustard sauce.

This went on for both of us for the next few hours, followed by awful gas. No nausea and vomiting, thank goodness. The only thing I can chalk up this coincidental mutual diarrhea attack to was that we both ate the same thing at the Brookfield Outback, and it happened pretty quickly after we ate there. We are both fine today. We will not risk going back there. ”
