Why Does Consumption Of Tuna Cause Stomach Disorder?
About 2 weeks ago I ate some canned tuns. Experienced stomach pain for the next few days. Stomach has not felt right since. Although the initial more painful symtoms are gone, I now feel like I digestion is general is difficult and stomach feels big/blotted ever since. Could I have ingested some kind of bacteria from the tuna that is still in my system?

Hello dear
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query in details .
* The stomach issue is from possible side effect or food poisoning from
canned tuna via alterations in gut flora mechanics , gastritis or other
mechanics .
* usually it takes around 5 - 7 days for the total clearance of the same from
the system .
Wishing you fine recovery .
Feel free to ask any further queries .
