diarrhea problem

Approximately two weeks ago i had very bad diarrhea. At the time i thought it was food poisoning. The previous day i had reheated some takeaway food and i remember a mouthful being cold that had not reheated in the microwave. 24 hours later the diarrhea started and didn't stop for about 48 hours. There was no stomach ache or fever or anything i felt fine apart from going to the toilet every 30 minutes. After being completely empty i had 3 days of eating relatviely normal and not going to the toilet. I then started going to the toilet normally and i returned my diet to normal.

This week which at the time was 11 days since i was previously ill i had the same thing again 48 hours of diarrhea. Coincidentally i did have another chinese takeaway the night before but it was not reheated and it was from a different restaurant with different food - the only items the same were egg fried rice and chinese curry sauce. I had eaten other spicy food in the interim and been fine.

Any thoughts what might have caused this? could i still have had food poisoning 11 days later? has my stomach become intolerant to certain foods?

i don't feel ill at all but it is so embarrassing and disruptive at work and socially.

thanks.
 
Sounds like you have IBS (Irrital Bowel Syndrome). It means certain foods don't set well with you. Don't worry. This is common. I have had it my whole life. Diarrhea is the main thing that happens and it is very inconvinient. You can also have bouts of constipation. You just have to watch your foods closely and see what sets you off. Hang in there! I hope you are doing better!
