I think A BUDGET SHOP COLA Poisoned me and my mam, but don't want it to be libelous

Your best course of action would be to edit or delete your post before Aldi sue you for compensation!

Honestly, you can't make unfounded allegations like that - at the very least you would need to take the cola to your local environmental health office for testing.

Most likely you and your mum caught the same bug - there's little in cola that could make you ill - unless its contaminated water but that would be major headlines by now. Take some immodium . . .

Actually there is nothing you can do for diarrhoea and vomiting, your doctor is absolutely correct. You just need to make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids and have a good standard of hygiene after vomiting and going to the toilet. Some doctors like to give imodium to stop the diarrhoes, but to be honest it sounds more like the 2 of you had a stomach bug, as i cant imagine there is anything in cola to do that, and therefore the diarrhoea is the body's way of getting rid of the bugs. If you take imodium the bugs get stored up in your bowel. Drink plenty, rest and you will recover soon. I would also think twice about the way you have worded your allegations too cos it could be seen as defamation of ALDI's reputation when you have no evidence

You need to take a sample of you !!!!! and put it in a pot and take it to the docs for testing and if it turns out to be food poisoning ring envirmental health and inform them and they will arrange pick up of the bottles for testing .

You seem totally sure it was the coke, did you eat anything as well as the coke, you shouldnt be making statements like that with out any proof,

skypaulusplus it might sound we are being a bit harsh but we're just advising you

you can't be sure it was the cola that made you ill, that's infact if you are ill and this is not another wind up...

the only thing we both had was the cola, and we both thought it tasted funny

Of course it tasted funny it was cheap no brand Aldi cola :rolleyes:

Could have been worse could have been "New Coke" I understand the symptoms of that was Spontanious Human Combustion.

thats because its aldi own brand......

maybe some sort of food poisoning picked up by other means as you were in the same place at the same time in order to drink the coke, or if its swine flu, maybe you contracted it and gave it to your mum. that would explain the delay on her illness also

i also think you should make rash accusations that are completely unfounded when you think about it logically.

but to be safe send off samples to EH for testing
