I ate some microwave popcorn that was more than 2 years past the expiration and now i have the runs, help?

I didn't notice the date it's been up in the cabinet for years. The only thing I ate was a bowl of cereal at about 11 am, a #1 from taco bell (burrito supreme, taco supreme and diet mt dew) at about 4pm and then I ate a half a bag of pop secret microwave pop corn (extra butter) I didn't add any salt or butter or anything just ate it straight from the bag this was around 10:45pm. About an hour later my stomach was "bubbling up" real bad and cramping and I've been on the toilet 4 times now with explosive diarrhea.

My question is, how long will this last? Uh oh, gotta go again. I'll check back for any answers in between trips to the john. thanks.

u will not die, u will need plenty of water and some anti bacterial medicine
