Had Milkshakes Followed By Belly Bloating And Diarrhea. Had Fever, Rapid Heart Rate And Ulcerative Colitis. Food Poisoning?

My sister and I (ages around 55) were at the State Fair in Syracuse Ny and treated ourselves to a Milkshake with maple syrup and coffee in it. A maple chino... We felt ill after... belly bloating and diarrhea withing 2 hours after eating.... Do you think it was a form of food poisoning or was it too rich for us who usually eat very healthy. I had a fever and rapid heart rate...but I have ulcerative colitus. I feel better today but tired.

Dear Madam,

Thanks for posting your query on this website. I can fully appreciate your concern for problem.

You have to be very careful about your diet, as some foods tend to aggravate symptoms of ulcerative colitis. Further, patients of ulcerative colitis have ulcers in their intestine, chances of infections are increased. hence, it could have been a case of mild food poisoning.

You have not mentioned about the medications being taken by you for ulcerative colitis. Please revert back to me with drugs' details so that the dosages can be optimized.

I am confident that you will certainly benefit from the advice.

May I assure you that I am always available for your assistance and will try my best to cure your condition to the best of my experience and knowledge.

Please feel free to revert back to me in case of further clarifications, if any.

HAVE A NICE DAY AND A SPEEDY RECOVERY.

Fond Regards,

Dr.(Col) R Karanwal
