Last week, I ate at a Chinese buffet for lunch and within a short time began having severe watery diarrhea that lasted all day and night.

I only vomited a couple times.

Since then, I keep having diarrhea 1-2 times a day, and when I eat I get indigestion and gerd like symptoms.

My doctor sent me for blood tests and stool samples to check for bacteria.

He thinks it's food poisoning with IBS acting up.

Do these symptoms sound familiar for IBS?

Can they last a long time?

Please help.

I just posted a short reply on the GERD forum.

Chinese food can bw suspicious for food or chemical intolerance. But this particular instance does sound like a bacterial poisoning - to me, a patient, not a doctor.

Still, the concept of keeping the food journal might be of benefit in finding out if you have specific food intolerances.

If you're worried about having a bowel movement then the worry is likely to trigger one causing you to have diarrhoea. These are classic symptoms of IBS. You should try to tackle this head on before it develops and gets worse.
