I bought a cooked chicken yesterday and drove home me with it and left it out to cool, then finally ate som but had tummy pain. No vomiting or diarohrea though so ate some more this evening but tummy hurting a bit again after 2 hours! Should I throw the rest away as it is in my fridge as I was going to add it to a salad for tomorrow?? Thank you. Mirella

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of stomach pain after consuming particular food. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food poisoning, food intolerance, gastroenteritis , intestinal ileus, poor digestion , improper metabolism, irritable bowel syndrome , lactose intolerance. Need not to worry. You should take antacid after every meal and keep your head elevated while lying down. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order ultrasound, stool test, endoscopy along with that take history . Doctor may prescribe laxative , ornidazole or albendazole along with ranitidine. You should eat light and non spicy. You should avoid food like seafood and nuts. Drink plenty of fluids. You should take proper course of antacid along with proton pump inhibitors.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
