What is the best way to treat/cure food poisoning?

  • Ate under-cooked chicken today. Thinks he might have food poisoning. Stomach hurts but not bad enough to go to the emergency room. What home remedies/over-the-counter medicines do you ...show more

  • Answer:

    don't take anything that will keep you from pooping or throwing like ammodium. The idea behind poopling and throwing up is that you're getting rid of the bad food. Let it ride out...

Chances of catching salmonella are not that great. True it is in birds, but food inspection is pretty thorough of meat processing plants. However sounds more like upset-take an ant-acid . not Tums(that is just candy> Alka Seltzer might do the trick. or ask the druggist. Food poisoning (when you get it) in most cases, you will be bent over and puking.A L O T.(such as rancid O.J.) Your body recognized it as "bad stuff" -"don't want it" "lets get rid of it" Diarrhea is a secondary reaction to the same problem but is farther in the digestive tract. Drink lots of water to dilute what stuff you have inside you and flush it out. It is probably something else he ate..or drank that is hurting his gut.(or the amount he ate.).

you will want to drink a lot of water and try to flush out your body. Don't worry about throwing up either because that is your body like draining you of the poison. Put a heating pad on your stomach. Also, call your doctor.

Take 1 teaspoon of activated charcoal and mix in 1/2 glass of water. Drink immediately. After 1 hour, take 1 tablespoon of epsom salts in 3/4 cup of water. After another 1 hour, take 1 tablespoon of epsom salts in 3/4 cup of water. The poisons will be adsorbed by the activated charcoal. The epsom salts will activate your colon to poop out the offending poisons now bound to the charcoal.

Time will usually heal all. Under cooked chicken can infect you with salmonella bacteria. The good news is that this bacteria is generally not fatal. It will give you stomach cramps and diarrhea. The danger is more in the possibility of dehydration from vomiting and the diarrhea. If you are young and healthy, it should pass. If you still don't feel better after a day or so, go to your doctor.

You should drink clear liquids frequently, but in small amounts. As your condition improves, soft, bland foods can be added to the diet. A commonly recommended diet is called the BRAT diet. The BRAT diet gets its name from the four foods it includes: banana, rice, applesauce, and toast. Milk products, spicy food, alcohol, and fresh fruit should be avoided until all symptoms disappear. These dietary changes are often the only treatment necessary for food poisoning. In all cases of food poisoning except botulism, the major concern is dehydration. Diarrhea and vomiting both result in the loss of water and electrolytes from the body. Electrolytes are chemicals that control many important body functions. When they are lost, normal body functions may be disrupted. Simple dehydration is easily treated. Sports drinks are good at restoring electrolytes. (Powerade, Gatorade) If dehydration is serious, further treatment may be necessary. Fluids may have to be injected directly into a person's bloodstream. If you do not get better within 24 hours see a doctor ASAP! I hope this helps. ;)

Have lots of 7 UP on hand, cuz that may be the only thing you can keep down. My boss just got over it, he was miserable.

pepto bismal might work but the best thing to do is drink a lot of fluids to flush out your system and get rest

It may not ahve to hurt bad enough for the ER, but I would definitely call the DR just to be on the safe side. Salmonella can kill. About 1000 people die per yr.* See below...
