Hard Rock Cafe - Punta Cana, BlueMall, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Punta Cana, 23000 La Altagracia, Dominican Republic

Two friends recently traveled to Punta Cana Hard Rock Cafe Resort. They were there several days. Suddenly they both had vomiting and later diarrhea, within 30min of each other. They needed IV fluids. They were sent in an ambulance, and this is where everything fell apart. We all know food poisoning happens. But how they were treated was terrible. They do not speak Spanish. They were transferred past the nearest hospital (which takes international insurance) to a hospital 40+ minutes away (which does not). The resort should have, but did not send a representative to serve as a translator for the two. They received adequate care but there was no communication about what was occurring, diagnosis, now what medications they were being given. They were each demanded that they pay for the ambulance ride, doctor assessment/consult fees up front. They felt that if they did not pay they would receive worse care or that something even worse would happen to them. They were afraid for their lives in a foreign country with no one speaking their language. They were told by the resort they could take a cab back. Only upon pressure from relatives did the resort agree to send a vehicle to pick them up. Do not go to this resort. After researching the internet, apparently multiple other individuals and families had the exact same situation. It seems that this is a scam. Perhaps the hospital gives the resort a kickback for the money they receive from foreigners. Not sure. It is absolutely suspicious. For other families, armed guards at the hospital were used in intimidation techniques to get money from the poor travelers. Not so this time, thank God. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting

Been buying this Fairlife now for a while but noticed while drinking some the other day that it had a strange aftertaste. It didn't taste sour, just off and not as it usually does.

I got rid of the container knowing it wasn't as it should be … See More
and woke up not feeling well. My lower and upper abdomen were extremely swollen and I had horrible cramping as the day progressed I felt worse and worse and my stomach was really messed up.

That evening I opened another container of Fairlife and it had the same odd after taste. I'll be honest because I've never had an issue I still didn't think this was the cause of my issue, in fact I thought my taste was off!

I spent the next few days staying away from straight milk but was using in my coffee and my lattes but was insanely bloated. My husband and I were thinking something was horribly wrong because I looked several months pregnant and had to wear leggings to work Friday. The whole situation was extremely unusual.

My daughter had a cookie and asked for some milk. Upon taking a sip she asked if if it was a different milk and I knew then that it wasn't my tastebuds it was the milk. She said she too felt it had a strange taste... luckily she only had a sip.

I've been absolutely miserable. My clothes don't fit due to bloating, I still have cramps and diarrhea. Both containers were good until June and are from batch 26-207. My husband suggested I check for recalls, come to find that the company has had hundreds of people get sick from this batch and denies issuesz I also learned that they have a lawsuit in regards to animal cruelty which is good to know. I'll never buy their milk again. Get it together cola-cola. #$$$hungry #animalabuse.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Stomach Pain, Cramps, Bloating, Swelling
