Can last up to a wee: Some kinds of food poisoning can last up to a week or more, especially if you are still taking in dairy or drinking high sugar juices. The brush border is destroyed and can't make the lactose enzyme to break down dairy for a whuile so stay away from dairy?|! apple juice causes diarrhea too. Try brat diet, bananas, rice, applesauce, tea and toast! if not better soon see dr.

See below: If you don't have bloody diarrhea, fevers, severe pain and can stay hydrated it is probably ok to continue to wait it out. Your diarrhea will probably run its course. It is always ok to see your doctor if you have any doubts. Definately should see your doctor if you get worse or have the above symptoms or don't get better in the next week.
