eeeeeewwwwwww!!!!! warning!!!

I got the results for Astins culture today!

It was not a reaction like they had put it down too!!

He has Campylobacter!!!
The doc said it more than likely came from canned fish or chicken so i thought long and hard seen as Astin doesnt eat fish or chicken and remember on thursday arvo i bought a can of that chop chop canned chicken and Astin had some of that around 6pm and he fell ill around 3am friday morning so doc says it more than likely came from the bad chicken in the chop chop!! eeeeeewwwww!!! my poor wee man!!! and im rather angry that i payed $3 for a tiny can of desease that cause my son so much pain!!! of course we dont know that it was that for sure but we ruled everything else out and thats what was left and it fits perfectly!!

YUCK!!!

Never again will i buy chop chop canned chicken!!!

i knew chop chop chicken in a can sounded dodgy!!!

bugger, but glad you got an answer...

i guess because i always buy canned tuna - i never thought much of it but im considering writing to the chop chop peps to let them know....

Poor Astin, hope it passes quickly!

And OMG I'd be making a bloody complaint...

As for chicken, I only had to watch that program on chicken and all the diseases etc- to make the decision that Lucas is never going to eat it. (apart from being allergic myself) I'd NEVER touch chicken in any shape or form (well chicken chips, noodles ...flavoring being the exception). Didnt even know it came in cans ....lol

I would be writing to the Amber and letting them know excatly what happen. If you still have the can giving them the info on the can would be a good help for them.

Woah! I definitely think you should write to them, don't let them think that there's nothing wrong with their product (even if it was a once-off!). Hope he feels better soon.

I must really live in a bubble coz I don't even know what Chop Chop Chicken is Must say I'm kinda glad about that by the sounds of it tho!

Aww chick! That really, really sucks. Poor wee Astin.
I had it when Benjy was a few months old and it was the sickest I've ever been, bar appendicitis.
The antibiotics worked really quick for me, when we finally got the diagnosis, fingers crossed its the same for Astin and he's back to his normal self really quickly.
Campylobacter is a reportable illness too so expect a letter from the MOH about it. It might be worth following up with them seeing as you know exactly where he got it from, they might check up on the safety practises at chopchop!

I think you should be hearing from public health soon as campylobacter is a reportable illness, so they will probabaly follow up your hunch about the tinned chicken
Off topic but kind of related, when we arrived in NZ, my friend told me to be carefull of eating chicken in NZ as most chicken was infected with Chlamydia (think she meant campylobacter but it still makes me chuckle)
Hope he starts feeling better soon, it's a nasty illness in adults so poor wee thing. I know everyone is going to be saying this but plenty of fluids and let the diarrhoea run its course, you really want it out of him not bunging him up IYKWIM

Poor Astin   I hope your little chubby bubba is back to his old self soon Amber
