Brief Answer:
Yes, this is possible!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

This is not unexpected. It generally takes about 72 hours before major symptoms subside following food poisoning.

Do continue with Gaviscon and anticipate significant relief in the next 24hours. Also, increase fluid intake and as you pass stool. so, to summarize, it seems to be due to the unhealthy food and its toxins.

Most importantly, don't take any anti diarrheal medication.

I hope this reassures and guides.
I wish you well.
Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
