I tried my daughter’s kids meal as she asked me if it tasted right. I ran to the plane toilets twice with severe nausea, sweating and …
Staff tried to blame it on me eating something ‘abroad’ and my daughter not eating (when she’d been asleep as it was UK nighttime.) Told it must be her ‘blood sugar.’ Another staff member told me we were simply responding to turbulence… I’ve been flying to Bali for 25 years and have experienced turbulence before without being ill.
My daughter and I have completely different diets - I’m a Vegan and she’s a meat eater and the only thing we both ate/ tried was her Emirates kids meal.
I then spent 5 days in Bali having diarrhoea after any attempt at even a snack, however small, and feeling faint and dizzy.
Doctor put me on a drip with 5 different medications and said it was Gastroenteritis. On 5 medications ever since.
I sent a complaint to Emirates 8 days ago with the medical report from the doctor. I have only received acknowledgements from Emirates, no help from them at all.
Scared of returning home with this airline as there’s clearly an issue. My daughter doesn’t want to go near them as she’s scared it will happen again.
After that, I have had a response from Emirates denying responsibility. When I attempted to respond and challenge it was blocked. Will be escalating.
I have a full report from the doctor who treated me and gave me the drip. He diagnosed Gastroenteritis. I sent this report to Emirates with my complaint and they completely ignored it. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Sweating, Gas, Shaking, Dizziness
