One of the first symptoms of food poisoning is a severe headache. This is the body’s signal to drink more water. If you think something you ate is making you sick, water will help by diluting whatever is in your stomach and strointestinal tract, and it will help flush out the poisons from your system.
If you feel the need to vomit, any water you have consumed will further help to dilute the stomach acid and actually give you something to throw up.
Depending upon how long the bad food has been in your system, water will either help it up or help it down and out. If food poisoning has caused diarrhea, you will be losing water at a rapid rate, and can quickly become further dehydrated, so it is important to replace that water as soon as possible.
Continue to use any other methods that you would normally pursue to treat food poisoning, such as going to the hospital for severe symptoms. Water in addition to those methods is only going to help you rid your body of the poison as quickly as possible
