Would you tell a friend after you ate at his restaurant that you were violently ill a few hours later?

This is not a hypothetical. I was more sick this afternoon than I’ve been in several years. I didn’t overeat and I didn’t think I ate anything too extreme. It was a citrus salad, a few pieces of beef negimaki and a few pieces of shrimp tempura roll. I also had a Diet Pepsi. About two hours after I came home, I felt really sleepy and then nauseous and vomiting for a few hours. (Sorry for the details.) Could this be food poisoning or just a coincidental virus? And should I mention it to him or just chalk it up to a one off?

I’m ok now. Just had some sweetened tea and a piece of toast which seem be settling ok.
