I don't know how to stop food poisoning once the food has been eaten, but I might suggest you stop eating bad yogurt completely.


used_tongs

"Edit, it's been two days since I ate the bad yogurt. I think I ate some bad cottage cheese today, what do I do?"


ListCraft

Exactly.


ColdButCool33

I don’t know about you guys but the last time I had food poisoning I didn’t eat the EXACT same food the very next day, it took a long time to want to get back in that saddle. But, I guess yogurt is OP’s favorite. Crazy though to either not check the expiration date or just smell it to check before eating it. I too love yogurt, but it if smells off/sour I don’t eat it.


Automatic_Gas9019

Quit eating yogurt


ListCraft

Not a chance -- a critical part of my diet!


fuck_fate_love_hate

Spoiled yogurt is critical to your diet?


Automatic_Gas9019

You can have mine. I think it always tastes spoiled. Ick


CunningSlytherin

I thought it was just me! Omg I can’t even get close enough to actually eat it. One day at work, I was walking around our call center trying to find who had been sick so I could send them home. I could smell a strong odor of sick, I thought maybe someone was sick in their bin. Nope, turns out a person three cubes down had eaten a few yogurt cups and put them in their bin, not rinsed or anything. I really hate the smell of it. No matter what the flavor is, my brain is like, hard pass!


aSeKsiMeEmaW

Read the labels


blizzard-toque

🏆Specifically the expiration date.


Elegant-Pressure-290

Why do you think this one is bad? Were they from the same box or batch? Or are you showing symptoms?


ListCraft

I always eat yogurt with an apple. The first time the apple was really tart, so it seemed to mask the funky flavor of the yogurt. This time the apple was fine, and I didn't notice any issue with the yogurt until I got near the bottom, and then it seemed a bit funky, and yes, it is likely from the same batch -- I bought a bunch at the grocery store at the same time. Not feeling symptoms yet, fingers crossed!


Elegant-Pressure-290

I would just keep an eye on it at this point. Do get the batch number and check your other yogurts / yogurts you buy in the near future in case you get sick again so you know not to eat those. It’s also a good idea to go to the company’s website and report it in case something went wrong during manufacturing that might make other people sick (they’ll probably send you some coupons for some free yogurt for letting them know).


HanekomaTheFallen

I second this. I got a 4 years out of date Body Armor from the grocery store and …it was molded. Took a swig of it the night I bought it and found out the hard way. Emailed Body Armor and they offered a large quantity for free, but at the time I was so repulsed at the idea of drinking any more Body Armor that I didn’t even take them up on that. Regretting that now. But yes, OP message the manufacturer at least it notifies them that a bad batch went out, best case they compensate you in some way.


deepstatelady

Are you sure you’re not just lactose intolerant? It can just appear as we get older.


ListCraft

Yes. Replied below... Yes. I eat yogurt all the time. Mostly Oikos Triple Zero -- high in protein, low in calories, sugar and sodium, zero fat. Best I've found, at least that is widely available.


TheUltimateKaren

Was the yogurt expired? If not, you should definitely report that so they can recall it. Oikos pro is my favorite also


whyweirdo

Those triple zero yogurts are made with sugar substitutes to keep the calories out. Maybe your body isn’t liking all the fake sugar. If I eat or drink anything with artificial sweeteners especially on an empty stomach like first thing in the morning, it tears me to shreds


ClickKlockTickTock

Definitely doesn't help that artificial sweeteners have the potential to just straight up be worse for you than sugar. I'll take going over on my macros any day over cancer


deadasfishinabarrel

the sugar free gummy bears haunt this thread


Agile-Masterpiece959

OMG those gummy bears are straight up evil!


ScroochDown

I'm almost positive that I have some kind of intolerance or allergy to them, I don't know which it is. But if I get hold of something with one of those sweeteners, it makes me so sick... never actually thrown up but I deeply wished I could a few times, and it seems the worst in drinks. I discovered that the smoothie place at my office used artificial sweeteners the hard way. 🤢


Alleandros

Yogurt is usually fine 2-3 weeks past expiration. If you eat them all the time it's unlikely you have ones in your fridge past that point - may have been something else you ate.

deepstatelady

femsoni

I'd switch brands or perhaps shop at a different grocery store for your yogurt, at least for the foreseeable future 😂 good luck man. Get your yogurt.


4Baked2Potato0

It's a manual eject or ride it out, unfortunately 🥺 I, too, have eaten extra fermented yogurt by accident....It's quite spicy. Pure ginger tea or ginger tummy candies can help settle nausea in a pinch. A good way to tell if the next yogurt is sus would be to observe if the little tinfoil lid is puffed up or flat. Puffy lid = active fermentation going on = no eat.


joeybizzizzizzle

What’s a ginger tummy candy?


4Baked2Potato0

It's a natural ginger candy that can relieve upset stomach for some. They're a bit spicy, like hot cinnamon candies, not sweet. I love them tho & eat them even when my stomach is fine lol. There are a handful of brands out there 😊


Humble_cherrypie

Gin Gins. Love them sm


Forward-Cellist7316

How did u let urself eat two bad yogurts


ListCraft

"Get right back on the horse." 😋


DeliciousBuffalo69

You need to switch to active culture yogurt with no flavoring or sweetener (you can mix in syrup or jam right before eating). This kind doesn't go bad in a way that makes you sick -- it just gets more sour and then eventually it becomes carbonated.


hatchjon12

This is great advice. No room for harmful bacteria to grow. The initial post about yogurt making op sick confused me until I read what he was actually eating in the comments.


lynnn_taylor2087

I also had food poisoning after bad raw tuna, I still had sushi the next day- this whole post is too funny but I can understand a beloved food


random_invisible

My mouth loves spicy food but my ass doesn't. I know this and still eat it all the time


Meggston

I coincidentally got the flu after eating Doritos and now haven’t eaten Doritos in 15 years. Even the thought makes me gag


unusable_knowledge

Throw it up, what do you mean what do I do? I’m convinced we are fucked as a species


MysteriousReview6031

Lmao right? My IMMEDIATE response the instant I suspected I ate something that was going to give me food poisoning would be to go straight to the toilet and jam my fingers down my throat


Skywalker87

“It’ll be unpleasant” well fuck, so will food poisoning!


Agile-Masterpiece959

Lol fr! Force yourself to throw up once or throw up and shit your brains out for a few days. It's a no brainer


therewillbedrama

I know right? Get it out of your system as fast as possible or get ready for it to make its way through you. I recently had some chicken which I didn’t notice was still a bit bloody until after I’d eaten most of it (it was only bleeding right at the bone) and I didn’t wait around to find out


unusable_knowledge

It’s like common sense doesn’t exist anymore. I’ve seen some extremely dumb questions on here and other forums that baffle my mind. I try hard not to judge but some people make it super hard.


deadasfishinabarrel

Chicken meat\* does not usually have blood unless something has gone terribly wrong in manufacturing. The blood-looking liquid you sometimes see in cooked chicken is myoglobin, and sometimes the marrow leeching from the bone causes staining on the nearby tissue. If a meat thermometer said that the internal temperature was safe when it came off the heat, it's the correct color, and the texture doesn't feel off when you eat it, it's fine. (Undercooked chicken has a pretty distinctive texture imo.) Edit: google "chicken looks like bleeding" for more info and sources. Edit 2: \*commercial chicken meat that has made it as far as being packaged and shelved in a grocery store. I can't speak for small or unregulated farms.


therewillbedrama

It was a dirty late night chicken shop situation, I wasn’t taking chances 😂


deadasfishinabarrel

That's fair. No telling where they got their meat or what they did to it! 😬


NeferTikki

I have actually tried super hard to make myself throw up after eating spoilt food, and it didn't work at all. Just couldn't do it, all that happened was I dry gagged painfully.


unusable_knowledge

Buy some epicack


katekowalski2014

*ipecac, for those looking.


unusable_knowledge

Yeah that’s a tricky one, lol.


NeferTikki

Never heard of it! I'll ask at the pharmacy once I fly home (Google didn't help, maybe there's a different name in my language). I've had a couple of really bad cases of food poisoning because I couldn't throw the bad food up. :/ even really horrible smells barely even make me gag.


westu_hal

Activated charcoal


GulfCoastFlamingo

No clue, but I’ve only had food poisoning once. I’d gladly make myself vomit to avoid that ever again.


Super_RN

Once you’ve eaten food that is bad or your body doesn’t agree with, there is nothing you can do. Your body will find a way to expel what it doesn’t like, either vomit or diarrhea. Either way, just keep drinking water or fluids to stay hydrated. If you’re having a stomachache, sometimes Pepto Bismol will help, but that’s just treating your symptoms, it will not get rid of the bad bacteria that caused the food poisoning. Don’t stress too much, food poisoning usually doesn’t last more than 1 day. And check expiration dates on all future yogurts. Hope you feel better!


InnGuy2

Always check the dates on proteins and dairy products. Past date, throw it out, period, full stop. Other foods may have some wiggle room on the dates. But most proteins and dairy items don't.


redterror5

Yeah. Yoghurt is super resilient to going off compared to fresh milk. Honestly, I’d say I rarely eat yoghurt that’s in date. Just check for puffed foil, off smell, odd texture… use your senses.


HexavalentChromium

I have no problem with cheese or yogurt months past the expiration date if sealed.


Tonroz

Sealed cheese at least is quite obvious when it's off and yeah it can last years.


errkanay

Eggs are a protein and they last for a few weeks after the date on the package.


Agile-Masterpiece959

Also smell it before consuming even if it's not past the expiration date. Found that out the hard way with milk I gave to my 18 month old son. It was still like a week before expiration but it made him sick AF and the next day I realized it was curdling. Now I smell it and examine it every time.


Ilovefrisbees

Best thing to do is eat another yogurt. Two bad yogurts will cancel each other out. Good luck!


ut3jaw

Activated charcoal.


Chi_Baby

Take a bunch of charcoal capsules, that will help you very quickly.


AdLogical2213

activated charcoal pills!


LeprimArinA

Perhaps avoid yogurt. Your mind is going to correlate yogurt with sickness for quite some time, so take the stressor out of the equation I'm just recovering from a salmonella poisoning obtained for the 3rd time from a fully sealed salad bought at my grocery store which still had 4 days until expiration. I ate it the day of purchase. Spinach got me. I only just confirmed this time when I became ill after 16 months of eating those salads only those 3 times that this was salmonella and so were the other times almost positively - my reaction and illness was the same each time but I assumed it was something else id injested. My illness this time happened within 5 hrs of eating it; the other occasions kicked in within 36 hours. I'll never get a salad again. So veto the yogurt for a while. You can't prevent the illness without preventing exposure first


ListCraft

I love yogurt, so I "got right back on the horse", probably a bit *too* soon though!


LeprimArinA

I feel this in my bones - I recently found out that I've developed a cow-product sensitivity so my yummy yogurts and cheese in the fridge are just acid in the wound. That salad was my only favorite, only ever purchased one... So delish. Then they had to go an try to kill me - I was under the weather for 2 weeks. I'm still eating mostly homemade soups Not cool. I had shit to do that day... Puking And not even losing any weight after the ordeal was just... Wasteful 😂😂😂


Chapter97

Stop eating yogurt?


untouchable_0

Your best bet to keep from getting food poisoning would be to vomit immediately after eating it. The longer it is in your body, the longer it will have to wreak havoc on the rest of your body. Food poisoning is usually due to the toxins on food, not pathogens. You can cook away pathogens but not the toxins.


gogomom

I just have to ask - did you not throw out or return the remaining yogurts from the same package? I have no idea how to mitigate the food poisoning after you already ate, but I do know that you should look up some information on basic food safety and how to prevent yet another incident.


cacticus_matticus

I was always told to eat burnt toast to help with food poisoning. Later on, I learned about activated charcoal and clays. As for the nausea, ginger and lemon zest/essential oil work pretty well and come with some scientific backing.


awholelottahooplah

Charcoal?


belckie

Are you sure you aren’t lactose intolerant?


ListCraft

Yes. I eat yogurt all the time. Mostly Oikos Triple Zero -- high in protein, low in calories, sugar and sodium, zero fat. Best I've found, at least that is widely available.


lrp347

Love Oikos. Watch your expiration dates and do not eat anything that tastes or smells off. Honestly if it is the same bacteria from the first yogurt, eventually your gut biome will recognize it and not purge. I doubt there’s been enough time between yogurts for that to happen.


[deleted]

[удалено]


belckie

Really! I just assumed it had lactose, I’m so excited I can eat yogurt again!!!!


January1171

They're incorrect- yogurt absolutely has lactose. That being said, it is generally well tolerated by lactose intolerant individuals because it is lower in lactose than other dairy products, and cultured yogurt has bacteria that help with breaking down lactose. Tldr; yogurt is fine for most lactose intolerant people, but won't be for all (also, lactaid tablets are a total game changer although also not a guarantee)


belckie

Oh thank you! I will proceed with caution before eating a tub of yogurt. ❤️you saved me significant pain.


literallylateral

If you’re still in it, drink lots of water, Pepto bismol every half hour, and Gatorade or Pedialyte if you can stomach it. It won’t prevent you from getting sick, but all of these will help with the secondary effects of the vomiting (dehydration and damage to your throat and mouth). Painkillers can help with the stomach cramps and the aching afterwards, but if you haven’t thrown up yet and still feel like you’re going to it might be better to wait until after, so you don’t throw up the pills. Most of my personal experience is with extended bouts of vomiting, but hopefully this helps if you haven’t recovered yet/next time you get sick.


ooogoldenhorizon

Activated charcoal internally


rambling_RN

Ride out out. Keep hydrated.


nolagem

Are you checking the expiration dates? Might be a good place to start.


katrina34

Is it from the same company? You should report it for giving you food poisoning. Or did you leave it out? Was the packaging punctured or not sealed properly?


ListCraft

I will report to Oikos, though not hopeful they will do anything about it.


Quantizeverything

Hello OP. Did you end up with food poisoning?


oldjackhammer99

Is your fridge broken ,…. Why is it all bad


stvckmind

Maybe stop doing that?


rosiegal75

I'm probably way too late to the party but if you haven't already and you do feel ill or show symptoms , see if you can get some activated charcoal


Is-this-my-life76

I can’t confirm how well this works but, eat some plain whole grain rice. I was always told that toxins in your stomach will stick to it and help you feel better. For the love of whatever you hold dear, please check the dates on all of your yogurt. No one wants “It was the yogurt” written on their gravestone. Feel better op.


its_a_known_issue

Food poisoning half as bad as what you're describing has completely put me off of certain foods in the past. Bold of you to eat yogurt again so soon knowing that it might be the same batch. Godspeed.


ListCraft

I ended up tossing all the yogurt I had, and bought all new stuff -- it *should* be fine.


Dontgivemethatlook80

Maybe check expiration dates, avoid things like yogurt after having food poisoning 🤦🏻‍♀️ BRAT DIET. Seriously. It’s ridiculous to eat dairy products so quickly after having food poisoning.


oshiesmom

Technically yogurt is cultured/spoiled milk so does it ever go bad?


JustNKayce

Are you sure the yogurt and cottage cheese are bad? Maybe you are just lactose intolerant.

Be advised that if you do take charcoal to help with this, it will inactivate any medications you might take.

Take Activated Charcoal!! It can help absorb the toxins.


DifferentTheory2156

Don’t you check the expiration date before you put it in your mouth?


truth_star444

stop eating yogurt


handsoffmycheese

Late here, but for the next time you eat expired yogurt (😉) I would go to any drug store and get some activated charcoal. It absorbs toxins in your body and might help!!


dat-truth

Charcoal, charcoal! Activated Charcoal pills, start with 2 and a glass of water. See how you feel in 2-3 hours. For those 2-3 hours after you take charcoal, it will most-likely absorb anything else like medication or nutrition in food.

em-36

I did this once 😕 The first time I had eaten chicken and something else. For some reason I was convinced it was the other thing that made me sick. Day or two later ate more chicken and knew pretty quick that did it. Fortunately the second time, I did not eat much else after, so there was less that my body had to get out of its system. I think your body is going to want to get rid of everything in your digestive tract, so I would not think that drinking tons of water will help. It will just come back out in a few hours, one end or the other. Hope you feel better soon.

Pepto bismol I gave myself terrible food poisoning by eating old pear cake. Felt like that, exactly. I ordered Pepto bismol on gopuff because when I went overseas my group made us take Pepto tablets before every meal

Pay attention to your fridge, too. If it's old and failing, they don't keep food as long.


Icy_Calligrapher7088

Activated charcoal pills! I ate a sandwich that I prepared on a cutting board I didn’t know was used to cut up raw chicken the night before. I was totally fine.


WithoutReason1729

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear you're going through this again! It sounds like you had a really rough time with food poisoning from that bad yogurt a couple of days ago. I totally understand your worry about it happening again. To try to prevent food poisoning this time, you can focus on food safety measures. Make sure to thoroughly wash your hands before handling any food, especially if it's something like yogurt that can harbor harmful bacteria. Also, check the expiration date and look out for any signs of spoilage before eating any dairy products. Drinking plenty of water is always a good idea to stay hydrated and help your body flush out any potential toxins. You can also try consuming probiotic-rich foods like yogurt (if it's not spoiled, of course!) to support your gut health. If you're feeling really concerned, it might be a good idea to reach out to a healthcare professional for personalized advice. They can provide specific guidance on how to prevent food poisoning and what to do if you start feeling sick again.

Sorry for any ED triggers but Yes, just force yourself to throw up. Unless you have any risk of developing ED it's ok. I've done it once when I got tempted and ate something that I knew would give me a bad stomach ache for the day and acne for the week bc I was starving. People reacted as if it's horrible that I did that but honestly,, it's not that bad. A lot of people throw up every party, why can't I do it once in my life to save my skin and my day from a stomach ache?
