Can you get norovirus from food? about 12 hours after eating take out food, had body aches, chills/hot flashes, diarrhea, stomach cramps, headache. gradually starting to feel little bit better on day 2. or could it just be a typical stomach bug?

There are a variety of bacteria and viruses which when ingested with improperly prepared food, can cause diarhea, nausea, vomiting stomach cramps, etc. These are termed collectively as food poisoning. These infections can last anywhere from 24 hours to 5 days or more depending on the organism. Drink lots of fluids, eat BRAT diet ( bananas, rice, apples, toast) and rest. Watch for bloody diarrhea.
