MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I had a bucket of moulles and a plate of frites earlier today. It was not my best decision. The little chaps decided that they didn't really want to be inside me and fought hard to escape. They won. I feel really ill, so bad that I have dipped out of a night out catered by a couple of award winning chefs. My stomach will thank me for it I'm sure.
Any ideas for a way to ease my guts?
I suspect it wasn’t the frites?
Last time I had really awful seafood poisoning was I think just before boarding a flight home from the Algarve. I made it home by some miracle but it took me two weeks to fully recover.
What I did find along the way (and was advised by the doctor after a week) was to massively cut down or cut out entirely any cow based dairy products as the body doesn't find them especially easy to process and particularly after a toxic clear out.
I had black tea, goats milk and goats cheese and non-dairy spread for about a month. After two weeks I'd had some kind of creamy desert at a work do and ended up being sick all night. So it was really rigid after that until fully recovered.
I'm not great on large amounts of dairy anyway but cutting out completely definitely eased the symptoms / helped recovery.
cider vinegar about 1 cm in a full glass of water may help
Avliding dairy is good - at least initially, avoiding anything that stops you system clearing itself out is recommended - or a least was up to a couple of years ago.
Coke or Pepsi are my go to recovery methods. I like cheap knock off stuff from Waitrose the best.
Should order Moules Frites next time, stay clear of fakes.
I read his book after he died, and he is quite clear on that point:

I don't eat mussels in restaurants unless I know the chef, or have seen, with my own eyes, how they store and hold their mussels for service. I love mussels. But, in my experience, most cooks are less than scrupulous in their handling of them. It takes only a single bad mussel, one treacherous little guy hidden among an otherwise impeccable group ... If I'm hungry for mussels, I'll pick the good-looking ones out of your order.
I used to love Moules Frites and would eat them every time we went to a French or Belgian restaurant.
After two vomitous excursions I've now given up eating them altogether. 🙁
As above, Coke or Pepsi or supermarket cola. Sugar + CO2.
I can highly recommend Softlets Sensitive Wipes
Feels like heaven on the anoose in such circumstances

I've only had food poisoning once, on the second leg of a 3 stop roadshow. I had to fly from Moscow to Paris on Aeroflot soaked head to toe in sweat and while filling 3 sick bags. One of my colleagues was sat next to me doing the same thing. The show must go on though and somehow we got through the 3rd meeting which was at the Trianon Palace Versailles. At the time it had a Michelin starred restaurant but all I managed to eat in 2 days there was a couple of bread rolls.
mtfu? Haven't heard that for a long time.
I only eat mussels that Iv'e picked myself, usually get them from the rocks off Hartlepool headland.

Del Boy: What was the name of that dish that Casandra made?
Rodders: Moules Marinieres.
Del Boy: Yea that's it, any one else would have used mussels.
Only eat them when there is an R in the month. With the heatwave we have had I wouldn't go near them.

Bugger, got my last lot in May! Did I die?

Starve for 24 hours sips of water often.
Then simple foods as mentioned avoid dairy for a couple of days.

Not sure it will kill you but all depends if you want a higher risk of a dodgy stomach or not.
After a hearty breakfast of salami and tea I am alive and kicking. Now- where in Poitou/ Tourraine will I find a ceiling fan capacitor?
