Prime rib.. Now sick!

[Ashley1021]

I ate prime rib at a company event last night, I ordered my meal before I knew I was pregnant and there was no changing it. I ate it, and like prime rib, it was pretty rare. Maybe medium rare. Well today, I've had at least four episodes of really bad loose stools.. Could this be from the meat? I'm having tummy cramping as well. Wondering if I should be concerned?

It could be...I will add the fact that since you didn't upchuck (and if it was bad) it had just started going bad. Food that gone bad for some time usually doesn't make it past the upchuck stage and you definitely wouldn't have slept well.

As bad as it probably sounds drink a little apple cider vinegar as it has a tendency to snuff out harmful bacteria and whatnot. Drink lots and lots of fluids and if you become worse for the wear don't wait to go see your doctor!

I will have to give that a try. I've just been wondering how worried I should be, my doctor is out because it's the weekend, and wondering when/if I should go this weekend if it gets worse. I have been feeling a bit nauseous, just hoping I didn't do any harm!

Eugh I feel your pain! I have to avoid lean meats at all costs, unless I want them going straight through me.
I'm fancying steak, lots and lots of steak, but I just can't stomach it. I'd go to the docs on Monday just to make sure, or if it gets any worse out of hours.

It probably wasn't bad at all - prime rib is a very fatty cut of meat, it probably just upset your stomach.

Yeah I'm hoping it just was a little upset because I'm not use to it. I've just been drinking loads of Gatorade!
