Food poisoning is one of the few problems that can affect your daily life. Mild to severe symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps can begin about an hour or even weeks after you eat contaminated food. In many cases, toxins or bacteria are spread by improperly prepared, stored or handled food. Most people with food poisoning recover within a few days after the contaminated food is cleared from the body. However, infants, pregnant women and the elderly need special attention to avoid food poisoning because of the potential for irreversible damage. Recognizing how to recover from food poisoning quickly can help reduce discomfort and restore health sooner.
Steps
Adjust your diet

Drink water and fluids. If you frequently vomit and have diarrhea, your body will quickly lose water, leading to dehydration. You need to drink as much water as possible to make up for the fluid loss. If it is difficult to drink a lot of water at once, you should try to take small sips. [1] X Research Source
- If you can’t swallow water due to nausea, you need to see a doctor right away. You may need to be hospitalized for intravenous fluids.
- Try drinking water, decaffeinated tea, or fruit juice. Eating broth or soup is also a way to replenish nutrition and provide water.

Use rehydration powder. This is a powder that you can mix into water and other drinks. The powder helps to replace minerals and nutrients that the body loses due to vomiting and diarrhea. Rehydration powder is available at drugstores.
- To make your own rehydration drink, you can mix 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda with 4 teaspoons of sugar into 1 liter of filtered water. Stir until the ingredients are completely dissolved and then drink. [2] X Research Source

Slowly start eating bland foods. When you feel a little hungry and the nausea subsides, you can eat bland foods like bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast. [3] X Research Sources . These foods help soothe the stomach and do not stimulate feelings of nausea and vomiting.
- Saltine crackers, mashed potatoes, and soft boiled vegetables are also good soothing foods for a sore stomach. [4] X Research Source Remember not to force yourself to eat or eat in a hurry, eat too much.

Stop consuming dairy products for a few days. When fighting food poisoning, the body is temporarily in a state of lactose intolerance. Therefore, consuming dairy products (butter, milk, cheese, yogurt, etc.) can lead to complications. You should avoid consuming dairy products until your body is healthy as usual.

Avoid foods that trigger nausea or vomiting. Once you have food poisoning, it is possible that spicy or greasy foods are no longer appealing to you. However, you still need to be sure to avoid consuming these foods as they are difficult to digest. [6] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source
- In addition, it is necessary to avoid consuming foods rich in fiber because fiber makes the stomach work harder. Foods high in fiber include: citrus fruits, beans, whole grains, nuts, and vegetables with skin. [7] X Research Sources

Avoid beverages containing alcohol and caffeine. Caffeine and alcohol both alter your body in ways that make you more uncomfortable. These drinks are diuretics, making you pee more often, which can lead to dehydration and cause serious problems with frequent vomiting and diarrhea.
Try using ingredients at home
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4b/Recover-from-Food-Poisoning-Fast-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Recover- from-Food-Poisoning-Fast-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4b/Recover-from-Food-Poisoning- Fast-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Recover-from-Food-Poisoning-Fast-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Drink rice water or barley water. These drinks help soothe an upset stomach and relieve indigestion. [8] X Research Source Drinks also have the effect of providing water – the element that the body needs most when suffering from food poisoning.

Take probiotic supplements. Probiotic supplements help restore beneficial bacteria in the gut and speed up recovery. However, for people with weak immune systems, probiotic supplements are not the best option, so consult your doctor before wanting to take them. [9] X Research Source

Use apple cider vinegar. Another home remedy is apple cider vinegar, which has antibacterial properties. [10] X Research Source To use apple cider vinegar, mix 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in 1 cup of hot water and drink it before eating solid food. Or you can drink pure apple cider vinegar without water if you want.

Use herbs. Some herbs have antibacterial and other properties that help reduce symptoms of food poisoning. [11] X Research Source You can try drinking basil juice or adding a few drops of basil essential oil to the water. Fennel seeds can also be eaten raw or brewed in hot drinks.
- Thyme, rosemary, coriander, sage, sage, and dill are herbs with antibacterial properties (though more research is needed). [12] X Research Source

Soothe your stomach with honey and ginger. Honey has antibacterial properties and can control acid in the stomach, while ginger helps relieve colic and indigestion.
- Incubate fresh ginger in hot water, then stir in a teaspoon of honey and drink it slowly. Or you can mix honey with ginger juice to drink.
Let your body rest

Leave. You should not go to work if you have food poisoning, especially if you work in the food service industry. You should give your body time to recover before returning to work (usually 48 hours after the symptoms disappear). [13] X Research Source
- If you work in the food service industry and start showing symptoms of food poisoning at work, you should notify your manager immediately and leave the food preparation area. Do not handle food during food poisoning.

Rest much. You will feel tired when your body is trying to get rid of toxins. Experts recommend getting as much rest as possible to help your body use energy to recover. You should take regular naps so that you don’t feel overwhelmed.
- Avoid strenuous activity. Engaging in vigorous activity while tired can lead to injury.

Let your stomach rest. Do not overeat or eat a lot of solid foods. [14] X Research Source When you have food poisoning, you may lose interest in food. But it’s still best to make sure to avoid overeating and not to eat a lot of solid foods so your body can fight off toxins or bacteria. Avoid overeating during the first 1-2 days of food poisoning symptoms.
- Instead, you should drink plenty of water, eat broth or soup. Wait a few hours after you have symptoms of nausea or vomiting before starting to eat.

Take Ibuprofen and Paracetamp. Take Ibuprofen or Paracetamp at the recommended dose for mild fever or headache. [15] X Research Sources Drugs may help reduce pain in general.
- Avoid taking anti-diarrheal medications. Although diarrhea from food poisoning can be inconvenient, it is the body’s mechanism of rapid elimination of toxins. Therefore, experts recommend that you should not take anti-diarrheal drugs.

Wash your hands often. If you vomit or have diarrhea, you need to wash your hands often to prevent the transmission of bacteria. Do not share towels or handle other people’s food. [16] X Research Source
- Disposable towels should be prepared in the bathroom. After using the bathroom, you need to wipe down any surfaces you’ve touched.
Warning
- Seek medical attention right away if food poisoning persists for more than a few days, has a high fever, vision problems, or difficulty breathing or swallowing.
- Get medical attention right away if you get food poisoning from eating mushrooms or seafood. Certain toxins in many mushrooms and seafood can be deadly, so you need immediate medical attention.
