food poisoning= weight loss. boo. sorry for the TMI

Normally I would be thrilled to have dropped 12 lbs in less than a week. But I've been sick as a dog since Friday morning. Nobody else at Thanksgiving got sick so we can't figure out whagt caused it. Friday was the worst with throwing up, leg and arm cramps, stomach cramps that made me scream in pain, diarrhea. By saturday it was just the lower intestinal issues... and still they continue. Day 4 today. Pepto did nothing, Immodium did nothing. I'm expelling quarts of liquid in the wrong way and I'm having a hard time keeping up with my fluids. feeling light headed today, not thrilled to be at work with these issues but can't call in at the moment.

any suggestions? I'm keeping everything down now. Looking for foods that will help bind me up. At this point even loose stool would be better than pure liquid. Sorry for the description. I will call my pcp tomorrow if it's not any better, but don't know what they'll be able to do that I'm not already trying.

I think they tell you to follow the brat diet when you have diarreah. Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast (without butter). Hopwe you feel better soon!
