A member asked:

I'm sick food poisoning :-\ this is happening 3rd time in 4-5 months. every times after a 40 days around. why the food poisoning is again and again??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Is it really that?: If symptoms that seem to be food poisoning happen again and again, the thought has to pop up that this may not be recurrent food poisoning episodes but rather a chronic illness that needs to be diagnosed.
