Some over-the-counter relief could actually make food poisoning worse...



In the unfortunate event that you wind up with food poisoning – skip the Pepto-Bismol! 

Taking over-the-counter relief for upset stomach can actually make food-borne bugs last longer. You’ll also want to skip anything with dairy including ice cream. According to gastroenterologist Marianne Ritchie, most people become temporarily lactose intolerant when they have food poisoning. Stick to bland food like dry white toast, white rice, egg noodles and crackers and drink plenty of Gatorade.
