Last night my spouse and I split a Red Baron pizza, about six hours later we were very sick (I will spare you the graphic details). Anyway does anyone know what to do for food poisoning?

It's more likely that your illness was caused by poor handling rather than the product per se.
That being said, don't eat Red Baron pizza, because it tastes bad.

You should ask SOOPOO, but I think there isn't much you can do, just let it run its course. However, sounds like you lost a lot of liquid so drink lots of fluids to stay properly hydrated.
Thanks for the warning. It is a rather far for you, but I highly recommend Rocco's Pizza in the Summerlin Costco shopping center.

Don't eat solid foods until the diarrhea has passed, and avoid dairy products, which can worsen diarrhea (due to a temporary state of lactose intolerance).
Drink any fluid (except milk or caffeinated beverages) to replace fluids lost by diarrhea and vomiting.

Food poisoning is the worst thing. All I have ever done is let it run its course, and try to decide which end to stick on the commode.
Have a look here it seems pretty informative.

Yes, this is why all teenagers should at some time or another work in the "fast food" industry...so they get a food handlers card and learn about cross contamination.....and how easy it is to do.....and that cross contamination 99.9% of the time is what causes "food poisoning"...and not the original product itself.....anyways just my 2 cents

SOOPOO here- The Wiz gets credit for being 'doctor of the day'. His advice is generally sound. But of course sometimes what you think is 'food poisoning' can be something more ominous, like Sal Minella. If it is not gone by now you may need to seek medical attention.

I do know how to handle food and all that jazz, I have worked that industry my whole life for the most part. I am feeling better, my back hurts though, but soaking in a warm tub helps. I do have Kaiser Permanente, but I do not think they have one of those here so hopefully I will be better soon. Thanks for all the feedback.

I'm no doctor, but my guess is if you bought a completely frozen dinner and then heated it to 400 degrees and then got sick the problem doesn't lie with the frozen dinner.

Thanks for chiming in Dr. SOOPOO. "Doctor for the day," I like that.
I didn't realize that Red Barron pizza is the frozen kind you buy at the supermarket.

It is possible, Food Poisoning can occur from something that was not your last meal. Since both my spouse and I are sick it is something we both ate. I understand the ideology, but I would think in either transport or manufacturing the product could have been tainted.

If you do believe it was because of the food, whether it was or not, you should call the comment line on the box. Inform them when you bought it, where you bought it, and give as much detail as possible. They may or may not issue a refund, but most importantly, it keeps a tracking list. If others complain, then a large scale recall can occur and you'll prevent others from getting sick.
But don't worry about me eating Red Baron pizza. That stuff is NASTY. I recommend Tombstone personal pizzas. They are really good, and I've eaten my share and I don't believe I've ever gotten sick off those.

It is quite possible that the product reached an unsafe temperature during transport to the supermarket, or while waiting to be stocked in the freezer at the market. It is also possible that it was allowed to warm before it made it too your house. There may be other culprits though. if your power went off an on while you were out, you may not know that things spoiled. It could also be the flu.
In any case, Powerade, or Gatorade are great for getting fluid and electrolyte levels back up. Hope you are both better soon.
As for frozen pizza reccomendations, I really enjoy "Bagel Bites". I wonder how many of them equal one slice of Costco pizza?

PowerAde and Gatorade are excellent fluid/electrolyte replacement - works in hangovers as well.
As for frozen Pizza, we like Delissio but recently the blue menu pizzas available here at Loblaws are boss.

My guess is its a mild form of E. Coli that made you sick. Frozen
pizza has meat and veggies, and there have been outbreaks
of E. Coli in the past related to pizza. Your back hurting is your
kidneys recovering from the infection. I'm not a doctor outside
of my home office...

I think at 400ºF for 20-25 minutes(typical frozen pizza cooking temp/time range) E. Coli would be wiped out. However, if you handled the pizza before the cooking process and didn't wash your hands prior to eating it, then there could be E. Coli on your hands and re-transmitted it to the pizza when you ate it.

Frozen pizza is known for E Coli. Totinos had a big
recall in 2007 because of it.

Most people use the cardboard underside in the packing as a serving plate. there's your cross contamination.

Better yet mail them a sample of the problem and its consequences...maybe they can identify what went wrong....?

Fluids, particularly water. Time.
Long term side effects are rare and usually not just from bad food handling practices but some quacks think some cases of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are really long term effects of gastrointestinal disease.

Send the makers of Red Baron proof that you
bought the pizza and tell them you got sick.
I guarantee they'll send you a bunch of coupons
to get free products they make worth 5 times
what you paid for the pizza.

It's still your duty to let them know that the product may be contaminated. Do you want others to go through what you've gone through? You don't always have to do it for free stuff... sometimes, you just need to make companies aware of their potential misdoings.
I'm not sure the cross-contamination from not washing hands argument works, unless you both handled the pizza prior to the oven and afterwards.
