I don't know if you're the worst cook, but I've never made myself or
anyone else sick. Maybe it was just a coincidence and you have a
gastrointestinal "bug". From what I've heard about food poisoning,
it's the kind of thing that sends you to the emergency room and
possible hospitalization. I'd start filling myself up with active
cultures ASAP.

Are you sure it's Salmonella? Could be a number of things.
FWIW, I've eaten undercooked chicken several times in my lifetime and
never got sick. Best go to the doctor and find out if you actually
have Salmonella or just gastro or whatever - unless you're confident
that the symptoms are decreasing in intensity. Get well soon!

Most people probably have at some point in time whether they
know it or not. However salmonella poisoning has more symptoms
than just stomach pain. Your body will try very hard to expel
the poison, if you know what I mean. Plus there is nausea and
sometimes fever.

From
http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/food-poisoning/salmonellosis-topic-overview

What are the symptoms?

Symptoms of salmonellosis include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal
cramps. They develop 12 to 72 hours after infection, and the
illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Most people recover without
treatment. But diarrhea and dehydration may be so severe that it
is necessary to go to the hospital. Older adults, infants, and
those who have impaired immune systems are at highest risk.

If you only have diarrhea, you usually recover completely,
although it may be several months before your bowel habits are
entirely normal. A small number of people who are infected with
salmonellosis develop Reiter's syndrome, a disease that can last
for months or years and can lead to chronic arthritis.

I got very sick after eating potatoes with sprouts. But in retrospect, I
think it was more the potatoes than the sprouts. I did not know of my
potato intolerance until much later.

I can relate. I seem to have stomach troubles for 2-3 days then a day or
two not. Not sure why. It's not my cooking. The other night, Jazzy kept
jumping on me. I'd push her off but to the side of the bed by the wall so
she had to jump on me to get to the other side. Last night, daughter took a
pic of me in bed. I looked like Kate from Jon and Kate Plus 8 right before
she gave birth. This is for the birds!

Yesterday my pain was right at the belly button. Now it is above the belly
button. It keeps changing. Norovirus is going around here. But nobody
else in the house is sick.

I once thought I'd made myself sick with my cooking. I made some
potato and leek soup. I ate one bowl in the evening, then a couple of
hours later the stomach pains and diarrhoea started (screw TMI ;)...
then, for the next two to three days, excruciating pain, sweating and
never ending diarrhoea. Oddly, not much nausea. I blamed that soup, of
course. Anyway, once I thought I could drive to the doctors, I did.
Turns out I had a really bad dose of Giardia. I lost nearly 8KG in 3
days... seriously.

And the soup? I threw the whole pot out :(
It was one of my better P&L soups, too.

Food poisoning is often mild and doesn't mean you rush to the doctor or the ER.
Most of the time that would be an expensive over-reaction. I have had it from
old ground beef and from chicken I suspect was not properly handled. It was like
a stomach bug with frequent trips to the bathroom for a day or so until the
offending food was out of my system.

OTOH, if it hasn't cleared up after a couple days, that is when to check with a doctor.
A co-worker's friend was still suffering after 18 months, so it certainly be severe and
even fatal.

I have made myself sick from preparing chicken at a campsite, but salmonella
does not live next to the bone. It gets on the surface of the chicken during
butchering, as it is a welcome resident in the chicken's intestine. Because
of the butchering techniques, Kosher chickens ten to have far less salmonella
on their surfaces

FWIW... a couple years ago I had what I thought was stomach flu. It was
not violent, just a constant feeling of nausea. I thought if I could
just vomit and get rid of it I would feel better. There were a number of
runs to the can and some heaving, but no real vomitting. Then one night
I was so on the right side. I could not sleep because it seemed to hurt
no matter which way I was lying. My wife took me to the ER early in the
morning. I was admitted and had emergency surgery for my gall bladder.

My son had a pet rat that got quite sick and died. A couple days later
he was sick and we had to scoot over to the ER where he was diagnosed
with Giardia. He had been in serious pain. A few days later I got a
call the public health department. Serious stuff.

Food poisoning causes nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, often
accompanied by headache, sweaty chills, aching and shivering. IOW it
makes you feel lousy all over not just in one place.

If your only symptom was pain in your belly ,it was most likely just
indigestion; there's no need to see a Dr for a one-off bout of
indigestion.

Diverticulitis also creates very sharp belly pain....I had an attack of
it once and was diagnosed by a doctor. Luckily, it seemed to be a
one-time thing which was caused, he thought, by my having veggie
cream cheese on bread of some kind every day for about a week.
So now, I don't eat cream cheese of any kind on successive days.

It was interesting to me that when I first had the attack, I had some
chicken noodle soup (the cure-all, right?) which created the same
amount of pain because of the black pepper I seasoned it with. That
is when I called the doctor. He advised very mild food for a period of
at least a week, to calm everything down.

Many years ago, one of my husband's coworkers came back from Mexico
with a "bug" that almost killed her. When we visited her in the
hospital, she'd been there quite a while on IV's and the doctors still
hadn't figured out what it was. She wasn't a close friend and he's
responsible for that kind of follow up... something he didn't do, so I
don't know what the outcome was (if any).

I had it. Projectile vomiting, painful burning diarrhea, sweating profusely
and the inescapable fear you will not die soon enough.

There are different types of food poisoning, and different symptoms.
The time I got a good dose of it I started feeling bad about 4 hours
after I ate lunch in the restaurant at the store where I was working. I
got off work a few minutes early and rushed home. I ran down the hall
and puked my guts out. I had rinsed my mouth and had a drink of water.
Within seconds that came flying back up. Then I puked more.... and more
and more...... and after I was finished with the food I just kept
retching and retching. It went on for five hours.

Someone else described it as a spending a couple hours thinking you are
going to die, and then the next few hours afraid you aren't going to.

After 5 hours of my guts trying to turn themselves inside out I went to
bed. I fell asleep almost instantly and slept through the next day and
night, waking up almost 40 hours later. And no... I was not feeling
great when I woke up.

Sounds to me like she has already done that...

The timing made me think food poisoning but now I'm not so sure. The
pain has eased up some, though I'm still on pain killers so who knows.
Don't get me wrong, I'm on low doses of pain meds and I don't even take
it as directed, 2x per day because 1 5mg pill doesn't kill my back pain.
Barely takes the edge off.

I'll just have to make a dr appt maybe it is gall bladder or something
else. The timing of it all plus the horrible pain made me sure I'd food
poisoned myself.

An ER Dr. kept insisting that I likely had that due to some chicken in that
area. I kept insisting to him that I hadn't eaten chicken at all or any
food in that area. It wasn't that. They never did figure out what it was
but I was sick for about 3 months.

How could it be hypochondria? Don't hypochondriacs *think* they have some
sort of particular disease? I have no clue what this is. I just know that
I have pain off and on and I keep getting sick. I have felt well for most
of the day. Just a brief bit of stomach pain earlier. For all I know, I
could be reacting to my new thyroid med. I have no clue. Or it could be
the aftermath of the surgery. Guess I will know more after I see the Dr.
for the follow-up.

There are different kinds. My parents and I had it once but we weren't told
what kind. We ate at an unfamiliar restaurant in Tacoma. For some reason,
my brother pitched a fit and refused to have a salad before his meal and my
dad just went along with it because the salads didn't come with the meal and
they were expensive. We all ordered different meals. The only thing my
parents and I ate in common was that salad. I do remember being very sick
and throwing up a lot. Also stuff rushing out the other end. I think that
only lasted 2-3 days.

But I know another person who seems to get it a lot. She leaves food
sitting out and not at the proper temp. and keeps stuff in the fridge for
much longer than the use by date. I guess her body is used to it by now.
She just throws up, is sick for a few hours then is over it.

I read somewhere that in the old days before we had refrigeration, food
poisoning was very common. People just didn't know that was what it was.

I haven't been sick after my own cooking, but I'm sure that's luck.
However, I had a party at my house about 3 years ago. A friend brought
some food, and everyone (including myself) who ate that particular item
was sick the next day. The food looked good and was delicious, but it
obviously was contaminated.

If you are still feeling the effects, I suggest a call to your doctor or
an emergency room. I say that even though I did not follow my own
advice when I had it, but you have been through some rough times recently.

Oh, I hope you find out what it is soon and get some relief.

It doesn't really sound like food poisoning to me, but then,
I've only had one good dose of it that I know of. Lots of
vomiting was involved, not really pain.

If she actually has food poisoning, then she ingested something
"active". This by way of the thought that one does not treat
salmonella poisoning with yogurt and herbs. Judging from the
description of the symptoms, it seems unlikely to be salmonella,
though that leaves plenty of other possibilities.

So very sorry that my humble powers of observation and description of
my conclusion don't meet your standards. Sometimes usenet is like
that. I'm sure that you will survive; and no, I won't be providing an
explanation of how I came to that conclusion.
