Probably staph: Sounds like you're on the mend & probably had staph exposure. Food borne illness is when you eat food that makes you sick. Outbreaks may involve bacteria (salmonella, shigella, c.Perfringens, c.Botulinum, b.Cereus, v.Parahaemolyticus, campylobacter, staph aureus), virus (norwalk, hepatitis a), chemical (ciguatoxin, scobrotoxin, mushrooms, heavy metals), water contamination (giardia, s.Typhi), etec.

Tums/peptobismol: It seems likely your symptoms are already resolving/getting better and so you may not need to do much at all. If so desired, Tums (calcium carbonate) and/or peptobismol may help with your symptoms. If not better in few days or worsen, consult doc for an evaluation..Good luck.
