BRAT? Can you elaborate, or at least expand?I have a friend who regularly stops getting food at the certain establishment for a couple of months. (I think her problem is that onions get into things that onions aren't supposed to be in, though.) The worst case of food poisoning from a fast-food establishment that I've heard of any of my close friends getting was from a different chain, initial W. Between that and the fact that their apple pies are fried, not baked, I tend to avoid them. I'm guessing that you're likely to avoid the fast-food place you mention for quite awhile now. Julia
BRAT DIET - A bland diet consisting of ripe Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast. This diet is easier for the intestines to digest. This can be helpful in cases of gastroenteritis, cramping abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Alternatively, there are products (e.g. lactose-free "Ensure") which may be substituted (and more tasty) and still accomplish what a BRAT diet is attempting to do.

A little too familiar with this one.
Hope you feel better Nick. I never had pain like you describe, but I have had similar symptoms. But the cause was much different.
