yesterday I ate hot pockets for lunch ( the cheese and ham croisant kind) and had a can of coca cola. then for diner I ate chicken alfredo, I ate alot of it, with some more coke. thats all I ate yesterday but something made me super sick all night and left my body feeling super bad right now.

I don't think it was the hot pokets because I did not get sick until almost ameadiatly after the alfredo. the thing is I ate alot of the alfredo, I think maybe more than what my stomach can hold. because you see I havent been eating alot lately, just a small lunch and maybe dinner some nights. right now I think the cause is that because I have been eating so less in the past month that maybe my stomach has shrunk? and eating two servings of the alfredo over did it.

but even that doesn't completly explain why I am so sick.

I know this is kind of a weird topic but I figured maybe some one else might have an idea about this.

Eating too much alfredo can do that.

We aren't doctors.

I am not looking for any medical advise, for me to follow to help my illness. just asking a broader group of people other than my self who have gotten sick more than me. I almost never get sick so I don't even know where I went wrong.

Sorry to hear you are unwell, it may be food poisoning, in which case you could be feeling sick for a while, but i'd recommend you seeing a doctor as soon as possible just so you can find out what made you sick, i hope your recovery is swift.

I wasn't the only one who ate the alfredo, but I was the only one who got sick.

also do please refrain from giving medical advise, its against forum rules and I clearified with my second post that I am not looking for suggestions to get better but just looking for different perspectives of why I might have gotten sick.

but thanks. I hope I get better fast too, I have to work tomorrow and I already took today off.

If you had simply eaten too much, you would have presumably thrown up and then felt better, since the problem was gone. Most likely food poisoning or a piece of bad meat.

I got sick from too much spaghetti once. I threw up some and felt better immediately. That was all in the same night, though. Maybe just a flu bug?


EDIT: ninja'd.

I accidentally clicked on the wrong google result for 'hot pockets' :sick:

Hope you feel better soon.

I mostly felt better at first after expelling the food. I drank water right after wards to combat dehydration but I ended up expelling the water as well. I have been drinking water today however and don't feel quesy or naucious any more. I just feel really weak now.

Too much dairy products maybe? Sounds like indigestion to me

Hint: Maybe it's radiation, and you're turning into a Ghoul (Joke)

I ate shrimps once, and my stomach began to turn upside down... Didn't vomit though... It just hurt... alot.

Then the alfredo was fine. Perhaps you have a virus that was incubated and the vomit phase of it combined with your gluttony.
I suggest consulting a medical professional.

You got "stomach flu". Some cases are worse than others. Sometimes caused by bacteria in food, other times by a virus you pick up like any virus (although it can be in food too). Chances are you'll feel markedly better tomorrow. Stay hydrated and take it easy. If you are throwing up non stop (to the point of dry heaves) and its been going on for some time you might want to see if your doctor can order you some Phenergan tablets or suppositories to control the nausea and let you sleep.

Basically, I've been down this road many times (used to work with the public and caught every bug that came along).

Either you've got a 24 hour bug, or it was the Hot Pockets. Because...well...they're Hot Pockets.

never had an issue with them before. besides, what I saw afterwards... was definitly chicken alfredo.

What made you sick is not necessarily what you...erm...saw in the aftermath, shall we say. You saw alfredo because you'd eaten it most recently and it hadn't had time to digest. That doesn't necessarily mean it's what made you sick.

Bingo. You'll most likely never know, just take care of yourself and chalk it up to the bugs you've had in your life. I will say this, with frozen foods you need to follow the cooking instructions and make sure its as hot as its supposed to be. I've read more than once that half cook frozen foods can be a source of bacteria more than many other improperly prepared foods.

As someone who works with food (and even completed a "Follow Workplace Hygiene Procedures" course to do so), food is supposed to be heated to at least 75°C (167°F) before serving. The temperature in refrigerators must be below 5°C (41°F). It is recommended that high risk foods (dairy, meat, etc.) not be returned to the refrigerator if they have been out of it for more than two hours cumulatively*, and that they be thrown out if they've been out (and at a temperature lower than 60°C [140°F]) for more than four hours cumulatively.

*If you pull some cheese out for five minutes while you make a sandwich, put it back in for an hour, pull it out again for ten to grate some for pasta, that's fifteen minutes cumulatively.

Also (according to a friend who completed a science degree relating to itsy bitsy lifeforms), food that has had a sufficient quantity of various bacteria can still make you sick even if the bacteria themselves are dead, as it is the toxins they produce are what makes you sick, and those are not necessarily destroyed. On the plus side, getting rid of toxins takes a lot less time than fighting off bacteria.

Im not a doctor but it sounds like food poisoning. You can eat something completely normal and occasionally get food poisoning. Then again, I'm not a doctor.

Ouch. Hope you get better

Ouch. Hope you get better

So let me get this straight:

You ate a lot, too much according to you, and then you vomited?

It's certainly a mystery :shrug:

Both times I've eaten chicken alfredo, I was puking the next day for ten hours. Regular chicken doesn't bother me, but add in the alfredo and I'm keeled over. Since alfredo is cheese, which carries a lot of bacteria, albeit dead bacteria, I'd say that's what makes us sick, OP.

idk if I ate too much, i had just thought that since I ate alot less than usual my stomach might have shrunk and which was why eating what used to be slightly more than what I normally eat.



maybe, although I have had this exact chicken alfredo before, its a costco alfredo, and never got sick.

one thought I had was that maybe mixing the coke with the alfredo was rejected by my stomach, since the last time I was sick like this was from eating a mixture of ramen, cereal, and a bag of m and m's. (and that was the sickest I ever was, three days of purging and 72 hours of sleepless fever hallucinations )

Plus the apparently ridiculous amount of vomiting. Do you usually drink coke with meals? I drink soda with everything and never get sick.
