TMI - diarrhea and cramping

sasky

I ate something last night that made me really sick. I had the same reaction to the same food about 6 weeks ago (chicken). I avoided it for a while, introduced it slowly back into my diet and thought I was ok. Not so much.

Basically almost immediately after I eat it, I need to go to the bathroom, feel so sick I almost pass out on the toilet (I have DH stand at the door just in case), wait for the cold sweats to pass and then simultaneously vomit into a trash can and have diarrhea. After that I have to stay on the toilet for a good 30-45 minutes, wait for the worst to pass then lay down and visit the bathroom intermittently for the next few hours. Needless to say, it's very unpleasant.

The difference with this time is that last time I was ok after a few hours, although still weak and yucky feeling. This time I've been up almost all night with cramping and diarrhea. It's 6am and I've had 20 minute cat naps here and there, but I'm so uncomfortable and the cramping is sometimes so bad I can't sleep. It's past the really bad part at the beginning, but there's really no improvement. Still visiting the bathroom frequently even though there's not much left in me.

Should I be concerned? I'm 14w3d with twins. I've been trying to drink a combo of water and Gatorade to stay hydrated but it's been difficult because of my stomach.

Sorry, that was long. Any thoughts are appreciated.
