Vomitting bug?

I don't recall being sick since I was a teenager (many moons ago!) but I spent almost the entire weekend vomitting.

Where does one get a vomitting bug as an adult? I don't often have close contact with other people and it's been a while since I have eaten any meat so I don't think it was food poisoning.

I've managed some water this morning so hopefully I'm on the mend now.

    Hi Emilee, I hope you're now able to eat again!

    The last two times that happened to me were traceable to a salt overdose where I'd not rinsed aubergines properly and to Quorn steaks. I've not touched that stuff since as it's not even good for us!

    Pre-packaged salads can be dodgy if not rinsed before use. Pre-packaged fruit smells fermented to me so I never eat that. I hope you can remember what you ate at the weekend so you can avoid it in the future.

    I don't eat pre-packaged fruit as it smells weird to me too! I've never met anyone else that said that.

    Interesting you've said about Quorn and pre-packaged salads, I had Quorn mince with a pre-packed mixed leaf salad. It's put me right off, I'm still only managing plain things now.

    Thank you @WhatThe, I'm going to avoid them in the future. I really enjoy salad but it can be a faff sorting all the different bits so I usually get pre-packaged. I think I will have to go more for beans and pulses instead.

    Hi @Emilee, I'm sorry you've been so unwell and really hope you're on the mend.

    I'm usually unwell with 'gut' issues, one particularly bad time recently I'd had smoked salmon, was on it's last 'use by' date on the day delivered 🙄😬 so suspected that? listeria or listeriosis. I forget when you're immunocompromised it's a bit of a no-no/risk. Lucky it's mostly unaffordable....every cloud 😉🫠😊.

    Take very good care and I hope you're back to feeling a lot better, very soon.
