What is food poisoning?

Food poisoning: To go school, or not to go to school and what to eat?

  • Okay, I've got to get ready for school in about 30 mins.. I had food poisoning last night, threw up like 3 times.. I slept at about 9:30pm, woke up at 5:30am.. I'm not sure whether I should go to school or not. Going to make some toast now, cuz apparently bread is good for food poisoning? But should I go to school or not and what should I eat other than toast? Thanks in advance. Danyal. :)

  • Answer:

    Shouldn't your mother or father be answering these questions for you? If my child has been ill in the night then I make the decision as to whether or not she goes to school, not a bunch of strangers on the internet. Apart from the fact that it's their responsibility, your parents can tell by how you've been in the night & how you are now, whether you are fit for school or not. They should also be advising you what to eat & what to avoid.

If you've thrown up in the past 5 hours, I would not go. See how you feel after you eat your toast. If your stomach hurts after you eat, I wouldn't go. I would think you'll be fine. I think the worst of it is over. Just don't eat anything too flavorful anytime soon. Give your stomach time to adjust.

Eat stuff that absorbs things well like breads and stuff. If i were you I would definitely try to take some PeptoBismol or Mylanta or Tums or something to try to neutralize your stomach to avoid nausea since you will be moving around and stuff. Dont forget to drink plenty of fluids. Stay away from pills today.

You should go on the B.R.A.T. diet. It's basically bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast. As for school, if you can, I would go in late. Maybe eat and give yourself an hour or so to see how you feel.

you should go to the doctors

No. You mustn't go to school. There are guidelines about such things and you need to leave so many hours since the last episode of vomiting. Not sure exactly how many, but somewhere between 24 and 72 ... you can look it up on a medical site. There's also quite a strong possibility you will have diarhoea - and if you do there are also guidelines about how long after the last bout you can go out and about. As to eating, you need to have bland and non fatty food and clear fluids - like water/ tea with no milk - until your digestive system has rested and recovered. Drink plenty to replenish the fluids you've lost. I'd suggest toast and marmite and a herbal tea with sugar or honey in it.

If you haven't thrown up recently, I would say that you've gotten rid of whatever your body didn't like. Toast or plain crackers are good to start out on, and keep yourself hydrated with either water, or clear juices. Once you can keep the toast or crackers down, start eating some bland foods, like plain oatmeal, rice, eggs, and avoid all spices until you can handle the bland foods. Then slowly work your way back into your normal food diet. Your body will let you know when you can move on.

Looky what we have here!

If it is really that bad to the point where you're stomach is hurting, & you're seeing stars, and then do not go to school. You'll never know how much worst it can get. You can even faint at school.

I hate school dude ... I don't Go even when I am not sick .. don't go :) For food poisoning ... try hand reflexology ... the pressure points in the center of the palm of your hand .. just rub .. it feels good and you relax faster... Again .. don't Go to School :)

If it weas food poisoning doesnt really matter what you eat because it sounds as though it has passed. No reason why you shouldn't go to school.
