In case of food poisoning, the main thing is to prevent dehydration. Therefore, water with the addition of electrolytes should be consumed regularly. In addition, it is worth including a probiotic containing the Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG or Saccharomyces boulardii strain in the treatment. Probiotics restore normal intestinal flora and limit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Additionally, preparations containing diosmectite, racecadotril or loperamide can be used to relieve diarrhea. In dealing with nausea, preparations with ginger may be helpful.
