Feeling awful

I had a bad bad night. With all the puking and dehydration, I was awake the whole night and could sleep peacefully only at 6 AM in the morning.
Well things went well till last afternoon. It was Sunday and my niece and his wife wanted to gives us a lunch treat for their promotion. We went to this very well know posh restaurant. Good ambience, good music, good food and couteous staff...the place was a perfect dine out with a lavish spread of buffet items. We enjoyed it.
Out of 8 of us who enjoyed the dine out, it was me who developed some discomfort on the way back. It started with some burning in stomach followed by severe headache. And by evening, I started puking. Then it got horrible with stomach upset and pain and puking. It continued the whole night and then I felt a little better by 6 AM and went to a peaceful sleep.
I am still feeling too weak and awful.Feeling giddy due to all dehydration.
I am taking enough rest and making up for the lost fluid. Even thought of food is making me feel pukish.

It is I think something wrong with the food.. Take some ORS and restore salts that you have losen.. Take care of yourself..

What is ORS if I may ask ?
Maybe she can take some samples from the dinner and get them checked for bacteria.
Who knows, maybe it happened to some others ?

It happened to me in the past, it wasn't food necessarily, it's hard to tell. I preffer eating vegetables, fruits, all fresh. I try to eat not too much, but most of the times I fail doing so. Then I pay for that.
What exactly did you eat at the posh restaurant ?

@arunima25 Maybe that's the problem, you accidentally ate some sea food, or vegetables that touched it.
Being vegetarian is very nice of you, reducing the suffering of animals. I hope you feel better now, it's almost half a day later.

I am a vegetarian. So I stick to that. But there were lots of sea food and non veg being enjoyed by others. I am allergic to sea food.

I hope that you feel better soon.
Chances are it wasn't food poisoning as it takes anywhere from 4 hours to 5 days to feel symptoms which you experienced. So, it could have been food poisoning, but not likely from the meal that you talked about.
Try to drink lots to replenish your body.

I am too weak now due to all the loss of fluids. Trying to make up for it by drinking lots of fluids and ORS solution to replenish my electrolytes.

@DianneN I am not sure of it. I am allergic to sea food. And the buffet spread had variety of them. Though I am vegetarian and didn't try them but maybe in some other way, I contacted it. Not sure about it.

Maybe there is something there that made you feel sick that way. If it is not the food then it can be the driink or something that you take that others did not. But I hope you feel better now.

Even I am not sure what went wrong. It did not sicken others.
