Any idea, what  might have caused this?  Bacterial...?

10 bottles of ice cold beer waiting for that Roi Et girl in the bar, followed by the som tam with pla ra that she ordered could do that.

Sounds like food poisoning. Did you have the shits as well?

Food poisoning. What had you eaten prior?

If i had to guess you ate at somewhere like KFC, Burger King or Mcdonald's. Reason: ALL Thai food is dirty and spicy theory .

Projectile vomiting in adults

There are several possible causes for projectile vomiting in adults, as well.

Infection

Infections of the gastrointestinal tract, such as from norovirus, are responsible for most cases of vomiting in adults. This is sometimes referred to as the stomach flu. While projectile vomiting is not common with these types of infections, it’s possible.

In addition to vomiting, symptoms of a gastrointestinal infection may include:

• abdominal pain
• diarrhea
• body aches
• fatigue

Food poisoning

Food poisoning can also cause projectile vomiting. This is because your body is trying to get rid of the toxin, such as a bacterium, that was contaminating the food. Learn how to tell if it’s a stomach bug or food poisoning.

Obstructions

Stomach or bowel obstructions have many causes in adults, and such obstructions can cause projectile vomiting. Obstructions can be caused by:

• twisting of the intestine (intestinal volvulus)
• adhesions
• hernias
• noncancerous and cancerous tumors

Time to get back on that vegan diet! 

I had the same both involving street food in latin america many years ago...usually caused by a bacterium in the food that yer body is trying it's best to expel with the explosive vomiting...so long as it's a short, violent episode with none of the following

 

• abdominal pain
• diarrhea
• body aches
• fatigue

 

then things should be OK shortly afterwards...if any of the above symptoms appear and persist then go see a doc...

 

 

It's probably too late for this now, but you should get oral hydration salts (available in sachets in any pharmacy for about 5 baht each) and drink them with water. You will be very dehydrated and will need to replace electrolytes.

And keep some carbon pills on hand.

My guess is that you ate some rice in the few hours prior to being sick and this will be the cause, especially if it was a one off incident / very short lived illness.

 

Rice is a major cause of food poisoning and it sounds like bacillus cereus to me, so yes, a bacterial toxin.

I don't believe this is recommended any more and even harmful.

 

Old rice - salmonella. Contamination from uncooked meats. Food poisoning in general.

 

I've only had food poisoning twice in thirty years in SEA. Lao eating balut and grabbing some junk food in the street in bkk. I was starving and knew it was sketchy.

 

I'd blame it on the rice at home sitting out unrefrigerated if that sounds possible.

Watching Trump or the Brexit fiasco on TV maybe?

Never go down on a LB.

I had food poison twice in Thailand. Painkiller Relieves all the pain after 20 mins. But the medical bill is expensive.

I made a 5 egg omelette in Seoul years back with 5 obviously rotten eggs. I vomited so hard, that I had numerous pinpoint blood vessels breaks in the whites of my eggs. I vomited so much that I expelled every single piece of anything that I had eaten or drunk for many hours before that. Then I got the dry heaves where I was vomiting nothing, just gagging and heaving over a vomit-encrusted toilet.

Man, I miss Korea.

.... just to calm things a little, I have twice suffered these symptoms, once seen them on another person, and it was caused by drinking a cold beer on an empty stomach after a long, hot, thirsty day (trekking).

The most likely explanation: an alien is growing in your body! 

 

For the treatment, please refer to the movie... 

 

Spoiler: there is none!

It would help determine whether food poisoning was likely cause vs something else going on

From your own NHS. As you'd noted. I guess I got the bacterial strain incorrect.
