food poisoning

[leatherface]

*sigh, this is the 2nd time in 8 months ive had food poisoning, and each time i end up losing like 4 lbs because I dont eat for the whole day. Anyhow I was just wondering if any of this would be muscle. I know that when you lose weight too fast that alot is muscle and that worries me Anyhow, its a few days since this sallemenela(spelling?) started, and although its not as bad now I still have pain in my stomach, but I attempted lifting today anyhow. Didn't go too bad except Its still hard to keep down my normal amount of food. Ok thanks guys!!!!! Had to get all of that out somewhere.

Wow man Im sorry to hear that. Salmonella is horrible from what I have heard. You think you got it from a restaurant? Or from cooking at home? I didnt quite have food poisoning, but about 2 weeks ago I got quite ill and really couldnt eat food for about 2 days. I definitely noticed a loss in muscle, but I let myself get better got back to eating and lifting and it was as if it never happened. You'll bounce back for sure! Just give yourself time to get better. And try to think of the possible source, so you can avoid it again at all costs!

yea leather, i got food poisoning for the first time about 3 weeks ago...and i didnt eat at all the first day, im talkin 0 calories...the second day, maybe 25% normal calories, but after a week or so it was fine, i didnt really notice a loss in weight, or strength...dont stress it, just take the time to get better and you'll be fine.

Food poisoning is scary!!! Although I have never had a severe case. . . I know people who have.

I try to eat at home as much as I can or take food with me when I am on the road. Sometimes I have no choice but to eat out.

Places most likely to get food poisoning. . . .lets make a list. I will start:

McDonalds
Burger King
Schlotsky's Deli
Taco Bell
Chinese and Mexican Restaurants

Well, you could get it anywhere.

Yeah Im pretty freaked out about the whole food poisoning thing. But if I hear of a place where someone got it, I avoid that place for sure. I just make sure that whatever Im eating appears to be fully cooked, and doesnt taste the least bit funny. I know this probably wont safeguard all that much against food poisoning but it cant be a bad idea. I also never really consume anything past the expiration date. Better safe then sorry. Hey Leather I was reading extensively about ginger root in the post that macro (sorry if I butchered your name) presented a while back in the supplement forum, and it was pretty interesting how it stated that ginger root can be used in cases of food poisoning to help. It is a sticky and maybe worth reading about if it at all helps to calm your stomach.

Danged ol Taco Smell gave me a light case last week! The day after eatin it I ate hardly anything and the next few days weren't that much better. Pissed me off as the previous 3 weeks I'd been hittin it hard and eatin hard. Lost a bit and this week started the rebuild.

Well i can blame this one on myself though. I was making 'all american french toast', just milk, eggs and protein powder...anyhow I guess I didn't cook the eggs fully or something. *sigh, im almost back to 100% today though. Thanks guys

it is worth noting that a glass of wine with any meal will sterilize it, but as to how to practically implement this, i don't know.
