Brief Answer: NO, it will get resolved soon Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this offensive gas and explosive diarrhea. From the information you have provided, this is not caused by poisoning. What explains this is the fact that several different heavily spiced food taken together would provide a perfect milieu for fermentation and production of excess gas. This gas would cause exaggerated sounds. The odour of the gas produced depends on the substances present in the various food types. This would resolve as the food is gradually cleared from the system. In this light, we often adopt a watchful approach. I will suggest that you often avoid eating several food types at the same time. This would be the only way forward to prevent similar scenarios in future. In all, wait a little and it would get resolved all by itself. Avoid mixing several different food types at time of meal. I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be. Thanks for using our services. Dr. Ditah, MD.
