Is it possible to check for Food Poisoning, Days after I had my last bowel movement?

I went on the Radiance of the Seas to have a decent Vacation. Over the last two days I’ve been imprisoned… Quarantined in my room because the Doctor though I have the Stomach Flu. Yes, I realize he’s doing what’s best for everyone else onboard, but my suspisions were answered today when I tried a little experiment. Each day I ate at the Onboard Cafe, I had diahrra afterwards. Yesterday I didn’t eat at that Cafe, hence I didn’t get sick.

I haven’t been sick at all today, but then I’d decided I’d see if I actually had the Stomach Flu or actually Food Poisoning… So I tried some Lunch at the Cafe… And wouldn’t you know it, I got Diahrrea. So did my Mom.. But we weren’t sick yesterday. It gets better.. Apparently I went into the Medical Bay with that one Symptom at 1:30AM, telling them, according to their Log Book, that I had those Symptoms a half-hour later from the specified time.
Additionally, when I’d left the vessel to goto Sitka, I’d received a phone call on the dock AT SITKA, telling me that I couldn’t leave the Ship because I might make other people on the ship Contagious, despite the fact that I was already on the dock in Sitka.

This would be more than enough evidence to have the Doctor release us from Quarantine to enjoy our last day on the Cruise Ship, but nope… He doesn’t want to listen… So when we return to Vancouver, we’ll be slapping a Lawsuit on the Cruise Line for Uncivilized Behaviour, Wrongful Imprisonment, as well as the Food Poisoning.. But what I want to know is… Can I goto the Doctor a couple of days after I had the Food Poisoning and have them confirm that I had Food Poisoning and not the Stomach Flu? Cuz otherwise it’s the Doctor’s word against mine.

How would you explain the fact that yesterday I had absolutely no symptoms, while today I hadn’t experienced any symptoms until I ate at the Windjammer Cafe onboard. Once it’s subsided I’ll eat elsewhere and see if I get sick from it.

My 17 month old has not had a bowel movement in 2 days after the stomach flu, is this normal?

He is currently drinking (Pedialyte) and eating normally since yesterday morning. I don’t want to be an alarmist but, he usally goes at least once.

Why is my 14 month old sons bowel movements yellow?

My son started a low dose antibiotic 4 weeks ago. At first he had diarrhea, but as soon as I put him on an acidophilus it went back to normal. Last week he got the stomach flu and was throwing up so I stopped giving him the antibiotic at that point since it wasn’t staying in him. That was 10 days ago. He seems to be all over the flu also but his bowel movements are yellow now. I don’t know if it has something to do with the flu, or if something else is going on now.

Can anyone help me?

How come it takes 1-2 weeks for bowel movements to turn back to normal after habing the stomach flu?

i know the stomach flu and its symptoms and the virus itself usually last about three days, but it says after it goes away, it may take 1-2 weeks for bowel movements to become normal again…i was just wondering what the reason on this is..
