3. Nausea and Vomiting
Nausea and vomiting are the symptoms that are most commonly associated with food poisoning, and the symptoms that most people recognize when they realize that they feel sick after food; usually, the nausea kicks in first – that’s the urge to vomit – and you will likely vomit soon after this. When you have food poisoning, this is the stomach’s attempt to expel the offending food, though the vomiting tends to continue even long after the body has rid itself of the initial food simply for the reason that the bacteria causing the illness will still be present.
When it comes to treating nausea and vomiting, consume only soft foods for the duration of the illness and remember to stay hydrated: Food poisoning is characterised by a vast amount of fluid loss, which is what most commonly leads to the deaths of people who have food poisoning. Ensure that you replenish fluids throughout the process.
