Food poisoning or norovirus?
My family came together for a few hours Christmas Day. Just a few hours after coming home I felt very sick with indigestion which progressed into vomiting 3 times and a single diarrhea. I was wiped out for a good 24 hours with fatigue.
After a couple of days we took count, only 2 of the family were spared, most were sick, as I was, within hours. Two got sick a day later than the rest. The two that got sick later, lived in the host house (with all the leftovers)
I'm convinced it was improperly stored food. Shrimp with cocktail sauce was put out early and was out for several hours with no ice. A chocolate cream pie was served with dessert and it was room temperature and a bit soft. If it wasn't one, it was the other. Some of us ate both, some ate neither. My mother and son didn't get sick. She had both, he had neither. I'm stumped? Nothing else makes sense?
Any ideas.

Improper stored food most likely
If you notice a change in your burp - like you're burping egg-like and have severe diarheaa then less cases of vomiting then its food poisoning
If you notice vomiting moderately and have fever,and a less case of diarheaa or are having blood in your stools then there is a case it might be the norovirus, if this has stopped and has last occurred during boxing dya then its nothing to worry about, however if it is still occuring, get yourself to the ER

Sounds like food borne illness. It could have been from anything. The turkey may have been slightly undercooked. Someone may have cross contaminated something that wasn't cooked with something that was.
