How To Get Rid Of food poisoning faster
Food poisoning is caused by eating toxin or bacteria-contaminated food. Such happens more often when we eat out than when we have home made food because the later is prepared with more care and hygiene.
The contamination can happen from spoiled foods, undercooked meats, raw fish, improperly washed fruits and vegetables, etc.
Food ‘poisoning’ might seem dramatic to those that have not experienced this very painful condition but it reallt does feel like a poisoning. Vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhea are the classic symptoms. Others include fatigue, nausea, chills, dizziness, heartburn, etc.
Food poisoning can show up as soon as 2 hours after eating contaminted food to a week after. Today I will show you how I get rid of my food poisoning in less than 24 hours.
food poisoning or stomach bug/flu
These two are often mistaken for the other because of their identical symptoms except food poisoning duration is 1-3 days while stomach bug can last for up to a week before it is completely cleared.
The differentiating symptom is that food poisoning causes poor appetite and fatigue while stomach bug comes with headaches and body aches.

The best natural remedy for food poisoning
The number one most used natural remedy for food poisoning is activated charcoal powder. Activated charcoal is often used in emergency wards at the hospital for food poisoning. it binds/absorbs the toxins or bacteria that are in the gut and then, they are removed from the body through bowel movement
Take the maximum number of activated charcoal as described on the bottle. It is usually about 4-6 capsules depending on their concentration. If you throw up the activated charcoal capsules after taking them, re-do the dosage.
