Olive Garden Italian Restaurant, Turner McCall Boulevard, Rome, GA, United States

789 Turner McCall Boulevard, Rome, 30161 Georgia, United States

September 1, 2017 a friend and I had dinner at Olive Garden in Rome GA. We ate the unlimited soup and salad. We both had salad and the soup we had that was the same was the sausage and kale. I also had one bowl of Minestrone. The only suspicious thing of our meal was the salad as it was really soaked in their dressing. We both of course had bread too.

Well upon leaving the restaurant I almost immediately had to use the bathroom and upon doing so I had diarrhea. This bout lasted all night and into the following day and I was unable to eat anything as it would initiate further bouts of diarrhea.

The following day and that morning I called Olive Garden and reported to the manager my symptoms so they could take whatever internal action necessary to prevent food contamination.

It is now September 3, 2017 and I'm still very sick having had a very restless night running to the bathroom. I feel so dizzy upon standing that I've fallen several times trying to get to the bathroom through the night.

Fortunately I've found some anti diarrhea medicine that helps. I'm pretty much staying in bed now as I feel too lightheaded and dizzy upon standing. I've also got a very bad headache. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Fever, Headache, Dizziness, Lightheaded

Oops I had the dates wrong. It was August 31st that the food poisoning began. Today is now September 2, 2017. I'm sick in bed but hopefully this is the last day of sickness.

Today is now Monday September 4, 2017 and my diarrhea is becoming more normal stool. Lightheaded and dizziness upon standing has dissipated.

My main symptoms are headache and fever today. I'm able to eat solid food now and much more fluids though not eating with full appetite. Have been craving apples.

In my original report I stated I ate at Olive Garden on Sept 1, 2017 on Thursday evening but that date was incorrect. The date I ate at Olive Garden with my friend Jon was August 31, 2017 Thursday around 5 pm. My symptoms of diarrhea began within the hour after leaving Olive Garden during a visit to Home Depot.

So I'm still recovering. I did not go to the doctor for this food poisoning however looking back if this ever happens again I think I will. Not sure what they could do? But at least it would give me more credibility. I live with my partner Jon and so I do have a witness. He recovered much faster than I did perhaps it's because he did not eat as much of the soup and salad that I did.
