Early Sunday morning I woke up with stomach pains; I took Tums and went back to bed. When I got up, the pains were better, but I had no energy. That lasted all day SUnday. I felt better Monday morning, so I figured it was a 24-hour stomach bug. But today I had severe chills; even after I went to bed, I couldn t get warm. I slept for about 90 minute, and when I awoke, the chills were gone. I don t have any flu or pneumonia symptoms - no breathing issues, no runny nose, no cough or sore throat . Could this be food poisoning , or the 24-hour bug I thought it was?
Hello, lindab-jewels, If you ate out at a public place or a picnic where the werepre-prepared foods, especially poultry, egg preparations etc., then you have to think about food poisoning. Contaminated food or Chat Doctor.  Also, more than one person may be affected. You mention that you don't have aches and pains, sore throat, cough etc. This kind of rules out stomach virus. Root virus, Nor Virus, can cause severe gastroenteritis with vomiting and diarrhea. Your symptoms are not suggestive of that. It could be a mild case of food poisoning, and you are already getting better. I suggest that you stay on soft bad foods for 2-3 days. Avoid fatty, fried, spicy foods. O.K. to take Tums or Pepto-Bismol you have diarrhea. I wish you well.
