Can bad sushi cause severe stomach pains?

Dr. Ryan Phasouk answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Yes: Bad sushi can be related to food poisoning, which can cause severe stomach pain/cramping, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia to name a few symptoms. Always go to a reputable sushi establishment and if something smells "fishy"....Well, that just may mean you are in a sushi restaurant!
