Free2beme, in my own personal experience, the time or two that I have had food poisoning, nausea and vomiting have accompanied it. It is as if your body cannot get the toxic substance out quickly enough (and diarhhea certainly helps it do that.)
You didn't mention vomiting, so I'm wondering if that was part of it.
I have also noticed a serious aversion -- lasting for years -- to whatever made me sick, even if it was a favorite food before. The two times I've gotten food poisoning it was from pasta salad and fried chicken, and I've never felt the same way about either food since.
This is not to say that you didn't have food poisoning; it's also possible you had a milder case then I did in the above two instances. But I just wanted to make the point that in my experience, once I ate something that wasn't right, it seemed like 3 or 4 hours later my entire body's system was doing everything it could to rid itself of that food, and that then mentally and physically afterward I'd lost all taste for that food. So if any of those symptoms sound familiar, that might be part of what helps you figure out what made you sick.

In any case, so glad you're on the mend!
