A member asked:

I just had violent food poisoning for past 9 hours. now, feeling much better. am i likely free of the food's harmful effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's over: Now that you are feeling normal again, you are likely fully recovered. Some loose stool may occur over the next day or so, but not much should be expected beyond that.
