      the internet can be a blessing or a curse.  Food poisoning can last  several days  maybe what you eat upset you, eat bland food drink lots of water and then like pippa 58442 says see your doctor if nothing resolves.

    Monitor your diet first to see if that is the cause.  If it lasts longer than a week, see your doctor.
