You probably just have a stomach virus. They can be quite painful. Panicking will only make it worse. Try to calm down, watch and movie and try to relax. Trust your mom if it were serious she would have taken you to the doctor.

Was the 20th Feb a Best Before date or Use by?

Use By dates appear on perishable goods e.g. fresh produce or food that goes off quickly. Never eat these after the date, or if you've frozen it - after the guide on the product.

I think you mean a Best Before date which is the one seen on frozen goods. Given the date is a month back, I'm assuming it's frozen pasta which you mum put in the freezer. A Best Before date is only a measure of quality so after that date it can't be guaranteed to be of the same standard e.g. it might lose it's taste or colour.

So, if it was the latter, I'm sure your mum knows whether it looked & smelled ok before you cooked it for you.

See how you are through the night. Sometimes things just don't agree with us and if you suffer with anxiety it will be amplified in your mind.

If you feel really bad, ask your mum for help and let her decide whether to contact any help e.g. your GP.

Hopefully you will be better in the morning, or if it's a bug, soon.
