    this is the first time i've had food poisoning i think in like over 10 years!! i'm scared! totally dont' want to even eat, but i know i should...think i'm dehydrated, i'm sipping on gatorade but i dont' think i'm drinking enough of it.

    don't really know what i should do, or when i should start eating again...does anybody know how long these things usually last? i just want to be able to eat and make the food stay in there.

    Inspired,

    Goodness!
    I think it's generally about 24 hours that this stays in your system, but if it's been longer, by all means go see your doctor!

    You should also drink some water, or plenty of clear fluids; maybe even some "light" soda, like 7Up, Sprite, or Vernors (Vernors is good for settling the stomach and easing the nauseating feeling you get).

    Eat some soup or drink down some broth and have some crackers.
    Get some Emitrol. It helps with nausea, too. You'll find it at your drug stores like CVS, Walgreens and many others.

    If you also have bouts of diarreah, get some Kaopectate. It helps also.

    Hope you feel better.

    Is there a chance you might be pregnant?
