Nothing to fear →[More:]I am anxious because I am malnourished from the food poisoning. I am simply short of whatever nutrients I normally ingest that happen to calm me. I only took a little too much Imodium. I may be a little toxic from the food poisoning and from the fumes in my boyfriend's recently detailed car. My guts are fine. Plenty of bowel sounds and activity. I am fine and I will be fine. Everything is fine. Absolutely fine.

And some saltines!
Your stomach will be jumpy and weird for the day, but you are fine and when you wake up you'll be back to normal.

(I always feel better when I can place a limit on the time that I will be feeling weird.)

Seconding the Gatorade. You'll be fine. And have someone check in on you periodically, even if it's by phone, if you don't live with someone. Hope you feel better! Do not worry!

In Indonesia I had all kinds of lovely dehydration issues from all kinds of lovely stomach bugs. Gatorade, weak tea, even oral rehydration salts dissolved in some water. And any kind of cracker-y thing, or dry toast, is good.

Also, a warm stomach is lovely. These are cool.

This certainly has not been a very healthy holiday season for many of us.
