Hello,
Food poisoning should only last 2-3 days so this may be something else. Try simplifying your diet for about a week eating no dairy, no artificial sweeteners and no fried foods. Eat bananas, rice, cooked vegetables, boiled or baked chicken (if you eat meat) and drink only water. If it is getting worse or does not clear up see a doctor. Consider adding a probiotic as well.
