Does anyone have any information on getting sick from "not good" ketchup?

I would have to say from the symptoms you describe it probably is food poisoning.  Ketchup, like any food, can go bad and grow bacteria.  If the bottle in the refrigerator smells bad it probably has bacteria growing in it.  Make sure you throw it out.  Most of the time when someone has what they call "stomach flu" it is actually food poisoning.

If it is bad then 3-4 days, just consult your doctor if things do not get better.  You need pleanty of juice and water..crackers are always good.  Avoid proccessed foods..get well soon

I doubt that it is food poisoning.  More likely you have a problem with fatty foods and grease.  Most of those hot pockets are high in fat.  If your gall bladder is not functioning properly, you could have mild attacks.  Do you get ill from eating greasy french fries, hamburgers, pizza, etc.  If the hot pockets have been refrigerated or frozen as recommended, they shouldnl't contain the bacteria that causes food poisoning.

I had my gallbladder removed when I was 15 and I am now 26. At the time of my surgery, they did not tell me what I was in for. I sure wish I had the darn thing back. I had an upset stomach after only a few bites of food and was running to the bathroom every 10 minutes. The doctor told me to stay away from spicy and really fatty foods, but I have found that most of the time I get sick no matter what type of food I eat. What I have found is that if you skip a meal or two and then eat a heavy meal, you will most surely be really sick. So I make sure that I eat a little something even if I'm not that hungry. It also helps to make sure that you eat a bland breakfast if you want to have a nice lunch or dinner that might be fatty or spicy. I hope this helps and feel free to send me a message. I have found that you really have to bond with other people who have had this procedure and you will find that you are not alone. Good luck!

go to a buffet everyday and eat until your sick. Eventually it will pack on.  Or take Cartman's advice to beef up

You did not specify your state, nor characterize your water supply.  You did not tell us how much you eat out and where. You did not tell us if you eat rare hamburgers.  Nor how long the symptoms have lasted, nor your age.\n\nAre you still eating lots of butter and caramels?  Even lactaid pills cannot cope with all that.  \n\nIf is very difficult to answer your Q without more information.  \n\nYou should see an Internal Medicine specialist and bring all the answers to these questions.\n\nSome people have been getting sick from food contamination, salads in bags or at fast food outlets that are contaminated with bacterial pathogens.\n\nDoctor also needs to know if anyone else in your family is also sick or was sick and recovered.  Especially needs to know WHAT you eat and WHERE, a comprehensive listing.\n\nMeanwhile try cutting out cheeses, butter, caramels--all the worse for those who are lactose deficient.  Try some kaopectate.  Wash you lettuce and other uncooked veggies thoroughly.  \n\nTry to use Rye Bread only for yourself.  At least read the ingredients and use bread not containing whey, milk, lactose, butter.  Stearoyl lactylate, an emulsifier is OK.\n\nLactase enzyme can decline gradually.  You may now have a more complete deficiency, meaning even small amounts of lactose containing foods will have bad effects.  Snicker Bars are even worse.\n\nRead the ingredients lists more carefully.  Americans put milk, whey and lactose into most food products.\n\nChinese food is much safer for you, except for some 'American Chinese foods' like La Choy which can have some milk or lactose.\n\nThe problem may not be lactose.  It could be something else.  In this case water supply is the principal offender.  Well waters in Texas may be contaminated.  If you have well water, you should have it tested at a laboratory for coliforme bacteria.\n\nA hospital lab can test you for salmonella and shigella, two serious food contaminats.\n\nWhen things last a long time without going away, it points more towards the water, especially when adults are having troubles.\n\nThis is the best I can do with info provided.  See the doctor, but taking all the information I have asked for will speed up processing thus lowering your bill.\n\nHaving said all that, it sounds like insufficient lactase enzyme to match your diet.  When you eat high lactose items you need to use more lactase enzyme tablets.  But some things are so bad, they are better avoided. \n\nIf you do not read the labels on everything, like candy, you will ALWAYS have trouble, sometimes gruesome.  \n\nExample; A SNICKERS bar, giant size, with no lactase tablets at all.  This will produce much grief, usually 24--36 hours later, depending how old you are and how fast your food passes through your digestive system.\n\nDo not let them take out your gall bladder without getting a second opinion.\n\nMacrobiotic supplements can also help.  You will need to Google those.  These help to establish favorable intestinal bacteria, especially following antibiotic therapy.\n\nDid you take a strong antibiotic recently?  Tell the doctor.

I have heard of a LOT of solutions/home remedies people did and got sick from, and they didn't work, advising you about this is just a warning, if you know where to get supplies for the habit, you know where to find the solution for it to be untraced in urine, these supplies are costly, and most of these items are tested for as well as thc, nothing is failproof, thc will remain in hair and can always be traced back to how long it's been consumed, how much was consumed etc.  Another friend JUST told me.. advise "The Extra Stuff" drink found in most hippie stores, whatever that means

I once threw up part of my gullet after eating too many Easter eggs when I was a bit younger than I am now (no I don't mean earlier this week, I mean years ago). I couldn't eat or drink for a couple of days but it started to get better very rapidly after a few days. And a trip to hospital to go on a drip. It was quite scary not being able to eat or drink, even tho I was hungry and thirsty. Ultimately it was not life changing, I still eat far too much chocolate at Easter, although generally I don't eat it at any other time of year. It wasn't a burn, but it can't be that different, right?\n\nI'll also add that I think it was increased acidity in my stomach that made me sick in the first place.

When in doubt, throw it out.  Food poisoning won't help your situation.

I heard some of the symptoms of M.S. can be caused by a food additive and if you quit eating the food the symptoms go away. The book you should get is by Kevin Trudeau that I think you could get from Amazon. I forget the name of the book but it's like Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know or something like that.

Well, maybe this will help you feel better. On my first day of work I woke up sick, I had a 24 hour flu bug or something. I went to work anyway though because I didn't want to miss my first day of work. During the orientation meeting I had to get up three times to throw up and the worst part was that I was pale so the people I got hired with knew exactly why I was getting up. I ended up having to go home. Luckily the bosses weren't angry, they found it funny that it happened my first day and they felt bad for me too. I was afraid I was going to get fired. I've been there two months now. \nGood luck on your new job, you can't possibly have as bad of a day as I did.

If this is a serious problem for you, why on earth would you ask on this site?  Would you really follow advice from someone like me.  I know me and I wouldn't.  \n\nIf you are not happy with your doctor's advice (or lack thereof) get a second, third or even fourth opinion.  You can also try www.nih.gov and check out germane clinical studies.  But don't try to self-diagnose.\n\nIt is entirely possible that, due to the chronic overuse of antibiotics over the past 50 years, you have been infected by a bacteria that has become immune to antibiotics, in which case, there is little your local doctor is going to be able to do for you.  If there is one in your area, go to a teaching hospital.  If there is not, take the trip.  And make sure you are seen by a specialist in infectious diseases.\n\nHopefully you are smart enough to know to ignore the answers you will undoubtedly get that advise you to pray for a cure, or to give up because you are being punished by God.\n\nOr, do what my grandmother did.  Run around your front yard naked three times at 2:00 a.m. during the full moon while swinging a 3 week dead, unplucked chicken (yeah, it's fowl) over your head and chanting "Boil, boil, toil and trouble - I don't want to lance this bubble"  It might or might not help, but you'll meet your neighbors, and maybe your local police.  Grams married a really cute detective.\n\nGood luck.  (And don't eat the chicken)

you should just be careful with the food you eat, and the water, don't buy anything to eat from those little carts or from any place that doesn't look right, the food is quite different so that can make you sick, but unless you are going to the amazon there is nothing to worry about.

No, it is a theoretical thing. The only thing that is sure is your chance of getting ill increases. You can never prove it was the secondhand smoke, bad diet, drinking. Just that it did not help.

hmmmmm...... everything. From the binging and purging, you can ruin your esophogus and throat in general (from all the acid you are throwing up). You can get Acid Refulx Disease or GERD from this as well. You can get stomach ulcers. Bullimia usually leads to anorexia, and you hair on your head falls out, but you get really furry on the rest of your body because your body cannot regulate its own temperature. From lack of eating, you are going to have tons less energy, so you are going to feel tired a lot more. When you are tired and are working out for hours a day, you are going to faint a lot. The lack of energy in your body is going to lead to less brain waves you produce, which can make it harder for you to think or concentrate. When you don't have any food in your system, or if you don't drink anything (including water or juice), your body is going to develop a vitamin dificiency, which could lead to digestive problems, liver failure, kidney failure, amonst other things. There are a lot of things that can go wrong with bullimia. It is a disease after all.\n\nHope this adds some insight and helps!
