Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
As you would have likely suspected, you may have food poisoning.
This may continue as abdominal pain only or may progress to involve nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
All of these may not occur.
At this stage where there is no nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, you can use small amounts of dry foods if you still have an appetite. If these symptoms do occur, you should wait 4 hours till the symptoms improve before using any solids.
In addition, paracetamol/tylenol should be used to help with the pain. Advil, aleve or cataflam , may sometimes further irritate the stomach.
Peptobismol may help with any stomach upset, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea that occurs- can be used for any of these
Probiotics ,either on their own or in yogurt, help to give back the good bacteria and have been shown to help speed up the resolution of these conditions.
Medications such as lomotil can be used if diarrhea occurs.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
