Warning Signs Of Food Poisoning

Diarrhea

Diarrhea, watery and loose stool, is one of the most unpleasant symptoms of food poisoning, and unfortunately, it's also one of the most common. To be officially experiencing diarrhea, individuals must have at least three of these watery stools within twenty-four hours. Not everyone with food poisoning has diarrhea, but it is one of the classic symptoms of food poisoning by some of the most common contaminants. When the contaminant enters the body, it can trigger an inflammatory response from the immune system. The more the inflammation increases, the less effective your bowel is at reabsorbing digestive fluids and water. Ordinarily, the bowel secretes these liquids as part of the digestive process and then absorbs them once digestion is complete. But when the inflammation prevents the bowel from functioning properly, it will sometimes empty the liquids through the rectum alongside any accumulated waste.
