Suggest Treatment For Severe Food Poisoning, Diarrhea And White Stool
Question: I have had severe food poisoning and have had white diarrhea for 4 days now. What is causing this? My friend also got very sick. We believe it was from an unripe capsicum from the garden. The capsicum also had a hole in it on the bush so we don't know if something had got inside it. The result was serious illness. Could it be caused by a capsicum??
Brief Answer:
possible from capsicum
Detailed Answer:
Hello and I am sorry that you are ill,
While capsicum is not a common cause of illness, if it was entered by a worm or insect (causing the hole) it could have set up some sort of bacterial or other contamination inside that made you sick. Luckily most food poisoning clears up on its own. It is very important for you to stay well hydrated and eat bland foods until you are back to normal. If you develop high fever, persistent vomiting or if the diarrhea does not clear in a few days then see a doctor for testing.
I hope you are feeling better soon.
