Food poisoning from rice?

    Food poisoning is when you have diarrhoea and sickness at the same time and can last for at least 4 hours and it usually takes about 6 hours before it starts and it's a gradual process which gets worse and worse in fact you may have to sit on the loo with a bowl in your hands; it's that bad. If you haven't got it as bad as this you should be ok soon but food poisoning can leave you very weak but as you seem to be a female it may have more consequences for you so if you get any worse you should at least ask advice from your doctor's surgery; maybe you can speak to a nurse, who then could speak to a doctor if need be.

    I've had food poisoning once many years ago and I ended up lying on the floor in the loo with a bottle of water that I just had to drink but it kept coming straight back up again.

    Try to drink as much water as you can to flush it all thru' as quickly as possible.

    Good luck.

    It is probably not food poisoning from the rice. The only reason you would have to microwave rice is to heat it. All those types of foods are loaded with preservatives and unless it was expired, it was probably something else, maybe a virus, that is causing you to feel ill.

    Drink only water, no food for 24 hours. If it hasn't improved see your doctor asap. Rice grows B. Cereus which can have serious effects.
