    No I didn't because I've had food poisoning before and my parents and I knew what to do and how to handle it. I did how ever go 2 weeks later because that's when I started getting nauseous every time I ate. My treatment for stuff like that is to just let my body run its course but if it had gotten worse than it did then I probably have gone to the doctor. I was throwing up and had diarrhea. I had a slight fever and severe fatigue. My back also started hurting really badly and my body was aching.

    This isn't sounding right somehow. Food poisoning is pretty rare. And if you are getting it over and over, the rest of the family would too. You either have a rare food allergy, a rare chronic infection, a rare digestive problem - or we aren't getting the whole story.
    Time to see a specialist of some sort - either allergist or infectious diseases. I don't think there's anything more total strangers can do online.

    Oh no I'm not getting good poisoning over and over again is just that I got it one time and after getting it I've been having digestive issues. I just feel really nauseous after I eat. I've thought that maybe it's ulcers or digestive stress and I'm going to get checked for dysautonomia. I'm going to ask my mom if I can get an appointment with a g.I. specialist.

    Good idea, because we are getting mixed messages. First you said that your parents knew what to do for food poisoning because you had it before, then you said you only had it once.
    I'm not suggesting that it's all in your mind like many people will, just that it's confusing and beyond what you can get help with online.

    I'm so sorry you're going through this. Sadly there are no doctors on this site, so there's really no one that can offer a diagnosis, only guesses. Your doctor is much better equipped to deal with this than anyone on this site is.

    I do have one question. Have you tried to eat gluten free? No gluten products at all? I know you said you tested negative for celiac disease, but it is possible that you have an allergy for gluten. Worth a try.

    Realize that this is just a guess, as will be any other post you receive on this site. We can't diagnose you. We can wish you well and hope you find a solution.

    Good luck.
