Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

you can take it, but generally pantoprasole is used for stomach irritation due to gastritis, gerd or similar issues It is not used actually for food poisinong unless you have heartburn. If you have diarrheas it would be better to have Immodium and probiotics. ALso, it is important to have easier diet and lot of fluids. Drink water, juice, bouillon and weak tea to avoid becoming dehydrated. Replace lost fluids and electrolytes with sports drinks. Avoid coffee or soft drinks that contain caffeine, since caffeine increases the loss of water and salt.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
