A British traveler suffered the six -hour 'flight of hell' after he ate 'smelly' pasta on the plane that he blamed for giving diarrhea and broke him every five minutes.
Cameron Callaghan flew from Manchester Airport to Bangkok on January 6 via Abu Dhabi prior to a trip around Southeast Asia.
Before his adventure in Asia even started, he fell violently ill on the plane and had to be rolled off the flight in a wheelchair.
Mr. Callaghan, 27, ate three hours before he got on the plane, a egg sandwich, and was served a tomato and chicken pastae right after taking off.
He says that 20 minutes after eating the 'smelly' aircraft food he started to feel unwell and later suffered from diarrhea.
He then threw 'every five minutes' over for the rest of the six -hour trip.
The former delivery driver was then left in the bathroom floor in 'the fetal position' and when he did not spit, he was sitting with an air host meat that kept the cupboard free.
He claims that he carefully ushered in a wheelchair and received an urgent medical assessment.

He claims that the Etihad Airways' meal was during the flight that caused the violent disease disease, and the meal explained 'smoke a little'
The 'flight of hell', as Mr. Callaghan described, left him his first few days in Thailand Bed.
He claims that it was Etihad Airways' during the flight that caused the violent attack of disease, explaining the meal 'a little smoke', but the airline says that the food was prepared and stored under strict temperature -controlled circumstances and they received no reports of disease from other passengers who received the same meal.
The flight was delayed for five hours and Cameron says he believes that the food was not stored properly at the time.
Mr. Callaghan, from Bolton, Greater Manchester, said: 'It was a flight from hell.
'When we finally started, they offered us something to eat, so I ate that and put on a movie. It was a tomato, cheesy, chicken paste.
'It smoked a bit weird, but all the fly food does.
20 minutes later I had diarrhea twice and ten minutes after that I had to constantly vomit the duration of the flight.

“I probably surfaced about 30 times. I had to sit in the back of the plane with an air guest woman while she kept the toilet free in front of me.
'I went to the toilet every five minutes, lay in the fetal position and towards the end of the flight I had emptied my body so much that I couldn't even get up.
'I couldn't lift my head, so they had to get a wheelchair and they brought me to the medical room at the airport of Abu Dhabi.
“I believe that the food had been off since the original time that the plane should take off and not stored properly.
'Before the flight I ate an egg butt and then I sat at the airport for three hours and I felt completely fine. That was definitely not the cause.
“I didn't even eat the night before because I was stressed because of the delayed flight.”
He was judged by a doctor at the international airport of Zayed, where he received an IV and Anti-Pechness drop.
Mr. Callaghan said the incident ruined the start of his vacation because he was too weak to walk.

He said: “I was so weak, I couldn't walk. I just felt that I would faint. I had completely dried out my body by being sick.
'The next two or three days after arrival in Bangkok I was just bed bound. It was only on the third day that I left the hotel and started exploring.
'After what I have experienced, I don't really want to get on a plane, so I'm stuck in Thailand right now.
'I would like a refund for the flight, if not full than partially. I want recognition about food poisoning and for them to say sorry.
“I wouldn't be sick 20 minutes after eating their food if it didn't come from their food.
'This holiday has been planned for three years and I could not enjoy the trip at all. People who come to the toilet and see me lying on the floor who was sick was embarrassing.
'It ruined the first few days of my vacation. I'm going to starve myself back on the flight, so this doesn't happen anymore. '
