<p>I'm sitting at home with a major stomache. I puked twice earlier. I have stomach cramps and a major headache.... I think I might have food poisoning! :(</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure I'm not sick because I don't feel sick.. the nausea, vomiting, cramps all started about 1 and 1/2 hour after lunch today. I was fine and a bit tired this morning. </p>

<p>Is anyone of you familiar with the symptoms of food poisoning? Or how to combat it?</p>

<p>Think back about 24 hours. I think your window of opportunity is 6 to 72 hours. Less likely that it was lunch today and more like yesterday.</p>

<p>so it couldnt have been lunch? Something I ate yesterday?</p>

<p>I think even staph food poisoning takes about 6 hours on the short side. I think it was something prior to lunch today.</p>

<p>When I got food poisoning, I didn't feel it for one or two days. Then I avoided standing up for two weeks. I refuse to eat Chinese now.</p>

<p>But if you ate where you usually do, I doubt it's food poisoning.</p>

<p>Better hope it's not food poisoning. =-)</p>

<p>it probably wasn't lunch. It takes your body an average of 3 hours to digest food (correct me if I'm wrong). Of course, i had a friend who drank bad orange juice in the morning and just a couple hours after he was very ill, so anything is possible.</p>
