    Can one die from food poisoning?

    Dr. ANUVITHA KAMATH

    Food poisoning is caused by bacteria from eating spoilt and undercooked food leading to symptoms of stomach cramps, vomiting, and loose stools with a watery consistency. Certain foods containing dietary products, cheese, milk, ghee, and other food items like sugars, lentils, cabbage, onions, pulses, and starch are not fully digested by the digestive tract. As a result of this, bacteria in the gut tend to break them down, leading to excess gas production, which is released as flatulence and also leads to frequent cramping. The other cause of cramps in food poisoning is the release of harmful toxins by the bacteria which leads to the irritation of the inner lining of the stomach causing stomach cramps. In a few cases, it can cause severe dehydration leading to death. Some of the lifestyle changes that can help in reducing cramps are eating healthy foods like fruits and green leafy vegetables rather than eating instant readymade junk foods.
