If you've done NOTHING bad, then it could well be a stomach bug. If your doc tries to push antibiotics, insist on a stool sample test first, because antibiotics ONLY work on bacterial infections anyway! If it is one and you do take antibiotics, try taking probiotics at the same time to try and minimise the negative effects.

Food poisoning will happen a few hours after eating the dodgy foods and shouldn't last much longer than it takes for your body to get rid of all the bad food, so it's not that with you!

In the meantime, peppermint or chamomile tea brewed strong and hot and some painkillers! ANything with codeine in with help especially as it relaxes your gut somewhat. Ask your doc for a strong anti-spasmodic as well.

Good luck!

PS. If your doc tries saying it's just the IBS, insist on more tests - we should all get retested if major bad changes in our conditions occur, to check there's nothing else going on.
