Firehouse Subs, Broad Street, Sumter, SC, USA

4 years ago

1297 Broad Street, Sumter, 29150 South Carolina, United States

Me and a friend ordered two 6 inch beef and cheddar briskets for takeout. I added sautéed unions and green peppers to be put on mine. Got home, ate it, and went to the movie theatre directly after. The movie was around 2h and 40m and I was feeling extreme discomfort and bloating throughout the entire movie to the point where I needed to stand up. Afterwards I went to the bathroom to try to pass a stool but nothing came out. When I got home 30m after the movie ended, the pain started increasing and I couldn’t burp as it felt like something was blocking the air. I attempted to pass additional stools and only little bits came out each time and each time I still felt very bloated. After 3 hours of this, in a final desperate attempt to pass one more stool to relieve my stomach pain at 3am-ish, I took Pepto Bismol. Not even 5 minutes after ingestion, I started projectile vomiting for about 5-8 mins on and off. There were chunks of green pepper, onion also what looked like bits of pickle. After that, my stomach pain was relieved but there was still discomfort. The next day my friend (that was completely fine as I was going through all of this) started experiencing liquid stools and stomach discomfort to the point were he was forced to lay in bed all day. This is a guy who hates being inside and is always working on something. I experienced intense fatigue also, most likely due to dehydration from vomiting my insides out, and also had stools that were very liquid in nature to. It has now been 48h and my symptoms are thankfully getting better. My friend is still saying his stools are liquid-like but his stomach is feeling somewhat better now as well. This is the worst experience ive had in recent memory and the first time I’ve ever experienced food poisoning. Not sure what the condition of the product used to make our Subs were, but we will not be going back that’s for sure. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting, Fatigue, Dehydration, Bloating, Stomach Pain, Burping

My niece, daughter, and I all had severe food poisoning from this location for at least 48 hours from eating at Piada. Around 7pm three days prior we decided to eat at Piada. I ordered the Diavolo sauce while daughter and niece got the marinara red sauce.... See More Noticed both were near the last of the containers and whatever wasn’t scooped onto the noodles, the leftovers were poured and mixed into the new sauce. When confronting the manager of the illness they mentioned that it is standard procedure to pour the old leftover sauce into the new sauce to help not waste food. Standard procedures should also include not violating health codes when heating food longer than 4 hours by pouring previously heated food into newly heated food in which would contaminate the new heated batch. The manager advised we go to the hospital to confirm the food poisoning we received a couple of hours after consuming their food which included uncontrollable vomiting, diarrhea, fever, cold sweats, and inability to move for two complete days while not being able to retain fluids. On day three was able to gain enough strength to shower and drink fluids but still shakey and unable to eat. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Fever, Sweating See Less
