If he's gotten food poisoning, they can take some stool samples to determine which it is. If more folks called in from the restaurant, you will realize you may have a potential outbreak on your hands. It could be something treatable with an antibiotic, such as Shigella, or something that most of the time just has to run it's course, like Salmonella. It could be a norovirus, which usually consists of something for nausea and plenty of fluids, possibly an antiviral. A clinic will report it too the health department or the DBPR, and they will do an investigation to make sure no one else gets sick. Since he is a diabetic, he may react more violently than a normal healthy person, and hopefully the clinic can give him something to ward off any potentially dangerous outcomes. Good luck. Cheryl from Florida <!--more--> Hello. Have a question about being sick. My husband is in United Arab Emirites. He ate some Gulf Shrimp last night. Its been super hot there. This morning (its 12 hours difference, so that is NOW) and started throwing up. He doesn't know what to do, and i don't either. He is type 2 on glucophage and actos. Should he take his pills if nothing is staying in his stomach? he's trying to eat crackers and drink lots of water, which he does anyway. He's in a hotel and has no way to pick up medicine if needed to begin with. i'm just at a loss. any ideas welcome. Thanks. Rebecca I would recommend you take him to a walk in clinic.
