Which meal did my diarrhea come from?!
Question: Which meal did my diarrhea come from!?
I had one brief bout of diarrhea yesterday (and have been somewhat constipated despite no medication taken ever since) and I'm trying to figure out what it came from!. I assume I must have eaten something that either wasn't cooked properly or just for some reason didn't sit well in my stomach!. If I eat something bad, how long does it take diarrhea to show up!? Would it be due to to something I ate 2 hours ago or something I ate a day ago!?
Here's what happened:
Wednesday 8pm: ate homemade pasta that was very, very spicy
Thursday 9am: ate about 3 muffins, which made me very, very full
Thursday 1pm: ate chicken, gravy, and mashed potatoes at KFC
Thursday 3pm: got a really bad stomach ache
Thursday 4pm: had one intense bout of diarrhea
Ever since (16 hours since): No bowel movement or signficant stomach aches, despite eating too much at a barbeque on Thursday at 8pm

If I have to choose one I would say your lunch at KFC was the culprit!. Although I don't think you have food poisoning!. Otherwisze you would also be vomiting and you wouldn't have had any appetite for a big barbeque!. Trust me, I had food poisoning twice in my life and I was really ill for at least a day, 3 days was the worst!. Maybe the fat they used to fry the chicken was old or the combination of (fatty) gravy and greasy chicken was too much for you to digest!. The constipation could be a result from the bout of diarrhea!. During diarrhea the body expells a lot of water!. Constipation is often a result of too little water in the body!. I would recommend you drink plenty of fuids and maybe eat some prunes or drink prune juice!. Some people swear by soaking the dried prunes in some water and then eating them!. If that doesn't help , get a stool softener - not a laxative - to make 'things' smooth!. But always drink plenty of water!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The pasta, because of the acid in the tomato sauce and the spices was the bubble gut appetizer!. The grease from the chicken at KFC sealed the deal for you!. For future reference breads,cheeses and water will combat the elements that you previously ingested!. Keep some tums or Rolaids with you and

i'd say about 4-8hrs
it sounds like the gravy wasnt sitting well with the spicy pasta, both of which sound rich & heavy!.
& its most likely something wasn't clean when prepared at kfc, or when u ate it, u ate something dirty as well!.
since u purged it ur probably fine now, though u should drink water cos getting rid of all that water in ur system is what's making u constipated!.
