Food poisoning: Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are the hallmarks of simple food poisoning and it usually resolves without specific treatment except light diet, adequate fluid intake, flat ginger ale to relieve nausea and kaopectate (kaolin and pectin) to relieve diarrhea. More serious cases show severe and worsening symptoms, require stool cultures for diagnosis and often antibiotics are needed(for shigella, salmonella for example)
