As much due to eating food of doubtful freshness as to indulgence in fruit or frozen dishes, food poisoning is frequently described as “a little gut infection” or “bad indigestion”.

It may involve a temperature, combined with digestive disorders such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and abdominal pains. It is normally resolved quickly and without aftereffects, but close attention should be paid to young children, the aged, and those with weak immune systems.

General advice

  • Drink. drink, drink – water, bouillon, Coca-Cola. Drink plenty, but only a little at a time
  • You should ‘refuel’ gradually, choosing easily digested foods

Caraway

  • Here is a tee made from caraway seeds that will not only prevent heartburn and acid indigestion, but also, if taken warm, will help relieve uterine cramps, promote breast milk secretion in nursing mothers and help clear away mucus from the back of the throat.  You may even give small amounts of this tea to infants with intestinal gas problems.  Here is the recipe:
    Bring 2 cups of water to a boil.  Add 4 tsp of slightly pounded caraway seeds.  Let simmer for 5  minutes on the stove, then take off the stove and let sit for another 15 minutes.  A little honey may be added to sweeten the taste.  Drink a cup with every meal to improve the digestion of food.
