Our tips & advice
- The biggest problem with food poisoning is fluid loss, as this can lead to dehydration. So it is very important to take in plenty of fluids.
- If the vomiting or severe diarrhea lasts longer than 2-3 days without improvement, contact your doctor.
- Do this even if it comes with a fever, in which case something other than food poisoning may be going on.
- Be extra hygienic with food, wash your hands more often (especially after using the toilet) and try small bits of food all the time.
For preventing food poisoning, more information can be found on the page on infections during pregnancy.
