A member asked:
For what length of time can an upset stomach or food poisoning last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the cause: Food poisoning due to staphylococcal toxin in food usually lasts a few hours, whereas shigella or salmonella may cause prolonged diarrhea. Poisoning due to chemical contamination of food will vary in duration depending on type of chemical.
