I have no idea why, but for some stupid reason, I thought it sounded good to order Dominoes Pizza. *runs to toilet* :bawl: So, I'm sitting there (literally) wondering: Why?!? By the Gods on High, WHY o WHY did I think fast food pizza was a good idea. Not only do I feel sick, I'm extremely exhausted, as if I received zero nutrition. The pizza looked weak and tasted as it looked Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I can only think the reason why I thought it was a good idea was from childhood experience. I wanted to relive those memories of when we all went as a family to the once a year treat of the local Italian restaurant. The wood stove made fired HUGE pizzas and we loved it! Well, THAT is NOT what I got from my 2 x $10 Dominoes Pizza! *rushes to toilet* .... ..... .... ... I've just pitched the pizzas. I hate wasting food, but, I don't think this qualifies as food.....
Sorry to hear of your condition Michael. But the pizza might not be the cause of your illness. Food poisioning bacteria usually have an incubation period of days and not hours. You probably received the offending bacteria at least 24 hours before you started showing symptoms. The little beasties need time to grow before they can cause your body to display the symptoms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foodborne_illness#Incubation_period
The worst thing is all the cheese. Christ, if there's more cheese than bread, there might just be too much cheese. Guh. Moderation. Moderation. Hang in there, Mike. As the man said, this too shall pass. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Perhaps your bowels took a precautionary measure and expelled the poor quality food. It happens to me sometimes when I eat food that isn't up to my usual standards.
As the link I provided stated, a quick onset is indicative of a chemical toxin in the food, not bacterial infection. And I have not heard of case where a chemical toxins would cause the runs. Diarrhea is not consistent with chemical exposure. Diarrhea is a symptom of bacterial or viral infection. Michael did not describe symptoms of an allergy reaction. So we would have to conclude that he picked up a bug somewhere along the line. And it looks like the pizza was the last food item he ate prior to the symptoms showing up. But that does not mean the pizza was the offending vector.
Food Poisoning Symptoms Symptoms of food poisoning depend on the type of contaminant and the amount eaten. The symptoms can develop rapidly, within 30 minutes, or slowly, worsening over days to weeks. Most of the common contaminants cause: •nausea, •vomiting, •diarrhea, and •abdominal cramping. Usually food poisoning is not serious, and the illness runs its course in 24-48 hours. Viruses account for most food poisoning cases where a specific contaminant is found. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...iL2PBw&usg=AFQjCNGhNwFWPWLZZ1eFmqpSUvFKNFlEbw
Actually, there are a number of chemicals which can induce runny stool. I don't think they'd be found in any great concentration in his pizza, however.
Last year I ate some 3 day old chilli. Big mistake. It was the last thing I ate for nearly 5 weeks. I thought I was gonna die. I just couldn't keep anything in except for tea. I had to train my gut to accept food again. An altogether unpleasant experience. You have my sympathies in your distress. My poisoning came on fairly rapidly as I recall, though I don't know what kind of bug it was. I am so much more careful with food now than I used to be, it's not nice at all.
Well, I feel better today Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! My personal opinion was it was the pizza - for whatever reasons. But, I can get sick even eating a McDonalds burger value meal. About the only thing I am OK with eating in terms of fast food is Subway. I don't know why? I suppose I'm weak when it comes to food. Well, that aside, I bought a yogurt maker and I'm about to, right now, see if I can make some yogurt. - plan of attack: 1. bring whole unhomogenized fill creme milk to a simmer. 2. let cool to room temp. 3. while milk is cooling lets some greek yogurt I bough warm up a bit in a bowl. 4. stir into warm milk. 5. put into yogurt maker (which I am assuming just keeps the milk warm). After 7 hours remove and put in refrigerator. I almost LIVE on yogurt. I've tried to make it without the warmer and it's never really worked out for me. I know, it's very easy but it just never really worked. Because I eat so much of this stuff (either plain German or Greek) I want to make sure it's most fresh and still alive. I was wondering if it never worked before because the store bought stuff isn't optimum? I mean, how do I know the culture is alive and fresh (and is that important). Did I ever post the research on fecal transplants Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! haha.... it was the first time I had read of it, very interesting in that it's used as a treatment for obesity and even MS and PD. (yes, you read correctly fecal transplant - and yes it's exactly what you think Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Serves you right. I bought a Domino's pizza a few months back (because theirs was the only flyer in the junk mail pile that I could find at the time). Two seconds after opening the box I remembered why it it had been ~15 years since I last bought one from there.
We don't even go to restaurants any more, due to the salt and other sodium that they put in routinely. Have had salmonella 3 times in my life, hope never to feel that way again.

They probably have a more varied vegetarian menu in Asia If you click on the menu tab, you can see the menu available in Mumbai http://mumbai.burrp.com/listing/dominos-pizza_bandra-w_mumbai_fast-food-shops/156436653__CA##listing Although TBH, I like some of the local Pizza outlets better than Dominoes but most of them don't deliver Garcias makes a mean old fashioned pizza http://www.mumbai77.com/pages/bombay-pizza/garcias-famous-pizza-mumbai-outlets/ You should try the probiotic yoghurts and routinely eat a more varied cuisine to avoid getting stuck with a weak stomach. I have a cast iron stomach because I sample foods from all places on a regular basis.
