Is Sporadic Diarrhea Due To Food Poisoning?

Hello, My husband ate some hog meat off the pit during a tailgate party this past Saturday. Afterwards, he ate some barbecue ribs the same night he ate the hog meat. The next day, he became ill. He developed diarrhea. He has had this diarrhea off and on for several days now. I need to know if maybe eating some of that hog meat may have caused him to develop this condition, and if so, what can we possibly do about it? Thanks
