I had a serious case of food poisoning over 2 weeks ago - was hospitalized overnight. I've been taking probiotics and they seemed to really help initially. Then, I tried to up my diet and felt sick for about 24 hours (nausea, one episode of loose stools, etc). Now, I still have to be careful what I eat and, even with that, I do not feel normal yet. I still have bouts of nausea, am very gassy and sometimes crampy. The last few days, I do pretty well all day, then late afternoon and evening, I have a lot of gas and some mucus when I try to go to the bathroom. There is also the weird/bad odor that goes along with diarrhea. I seem to have irritable bowel - feel like I'm going to have loose stools, but then can't go. Sorry, I know this is all TMI, but I am wondering if others have had this experience or do I need to go back to the doctor?
