Hi,
I don't wait until I know that I have food poisoning. I hate throwing up and all of the other things that are involved in digestive upsets of any sort.
I have found something that works every time to fight intruders in my digestive system and others have told me that this also works great even for food poisoning.
The beauty of it is that I have nothing to lose. If I take it right away when I get that "queezy" (did I misspelled that?) feeling, it works within 5 minutes and my entire system is normalized.
I have felt really sick many times after eating or when I have the flu...but have never had to throw up and never had to experience the results of food poisoning, even though I sure felt at first like I ate something that was poisoning me. (nausea, headache, stomach cramps etc. etc.)
Again, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain by taking 2 to 4 drops of an essential oil that was specially formulated for this problem. I always carry the oil and capsules with me because almost every time I eat out I feel sick afterwards. This never happens at home so I am wondering how clean cooking environments really are today.
Anyway, the reason I don't have anything to lose is because it usually helps...but if for some reason it didn't help, I would have to see a doctor...which I would have to do anyway...right?
The essential oil is called "Di-Gize" (#3324) and you can get more info and order at this site: http://KayAndTinaGraves.younglivingworld.com
Hope this helps.
