Food poisoning can turn a good meal into a miserable experience. If you suspect you've eaten contaminated food, here are some steps to take:

Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of clear fluids to replace lost electrolytes.
Rest: Allow your body time to fight the infection.
Avoid certain foods: Steer clear of dairy, caffeine, alcohol, and fatty or spicy foods.
Use over-the-counter remedies: Bismuth subsalicylate can help with diarrhea and nausea.
Seek medical attention if symptoms are severe or persist, especially in young children, elderly, or those with weakened immune systems.

Remember, while most cases resolve on their own, severe food poisoning can lead to serious complications. Document what you ate and where if you suspect a restaurant or food product is the source.
