Food poisoning a month later? Bloating gas cramps

was the meat cooked properly first? you have to be very careful when prepping food because of food poisoning if it isn't cooked to temperature.

I've had food poisoning and I can assure you you know when it happens, it comes out both ends at the same time, the meat could have just upset the bacteria a in your tummy, it just takes time to calm down and anti acid medication will have to be taken, it can last for weeks keep in touch with your doctors. Obviously that's just what had happened to me, so it's only a suggestion good luck

I must agree with Trisha and with food poisoning you would be emitting from both ends!! unfortunately trouble with abdomen trouble  is they  can be really hard to actually diagnose, Hope youi get to the bottom of it, sorry no pun intended  

Your doctor may be doing things in steps so  I'd go back if you aren't having any positive results.

I don't see where you had a CT scan or MRI for gall bladder problems. When the gall bladder doesn't work properly it does not process fats well and your  normal diet seems high in meats and  foods  i.e. pizza, that are high in fats.

Otherwise, another  possibilityis  food allergies. You can get skin tests for that and a gradual treatment.  Allergies cause inflammation.  The doc might prescribe an anti-inflammatory.

Also, you might have an serious imbalance of the flora in your gut --- good bacteria, yeasts etc. that help in digestion. You replemish these with fruits and vegetables. When good bacteria, yeasts etc. are in short supply, very destructive bacterium and yeasts get established. This leads to bloating and pain. You would need to get on a treatment of probiotics, vitamins etc.

 

Because you seem to have had all kinds of diagnostic tests,  and the doc has determined that nothing life-threatening is wrong,  I am going to suggest some other ideas.

To find out what food allergies you might have, you would need to go to a doctor for skin tests.  Actually, wheat is highest on the list for food allergies, eggs is also high on the list.... so instead of guessing it would be better to get the skin tests to find out for sure.

The next question is  --- How long has it been since you have  been on antibiotics?  We know you had a colonoscopy.  Both require rebuilding of the gut flora with probiotics immediately afterwards.  So, ask yourself, did you do that?   If not, then you probably need  to rebuild the gut flora with probiotics no matter what is going on.  Did you know that in Italy, for instance, no antibiotic are ever sold without probiotics sold along with it?

FYI: Here are a few of  the kinds of foods that build probiotics in your system naturally: all fruits and vegetables particularly beans, asparagus, onion, garlic, bananas, artichokes, root vegetables, apples and pears.  If you aren't a vegetable lover, you can probably buy dehydrated green superfoods (fruits and or veggies).  You take a scoop daily in a small drink, or you can choose to take probiotics to build up your gut to a friendly environment and stay on them.... or you could do both for a little while and see how it works.

One of the first kinds of destructive organisms that takes over the gut after antibiotics and/or a colonoscopy when the gut owner does not intervene with probiotics,  is a yeast called candida.  When a person's gut is over run by this yeast it, interestingly enough, causes food allergies, sugar cravings, and pain  -- so Paul, you can see how one thing leads to another.   

Really brief and quick here: --- If you want to do probiotics get both kinds; the live kind and the other kind. Spend money for quality products.  I doubled up on the 2 different probiotics when I had a problem.  Also,  I had a holistic doc recommend  borage oil which is an anti-inflammatory some years back when I have abdominal pain and it worked. 

If nothing works, go back to the doc.
