and
to the board! There are a ton of smart women here with great advice
Rewarming it once should be fine:
kellymom.com :: Links: Breastmilk Storage & Handling has some good guidelines.
Why do you need to used stored milk? Is it because your supply is low? Just asking, because food poisoning doesn't mean you have to pump and dump. The bacteria from the food stays in the gastrointestinal tract and doesn't enter the breast milk unless it has gone septic and enters your bloodstream, in which case you'd probably be in the hospital.
Kellymom again:

If mom has food poisoning, breastfeeding should continue. As long as the symptoms are confined to the gastrointestinal tract (vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps), breastfeeding should continue without interruption as there is no risk to the baby. This is the case with most occurences of food poisoning. If the food poisoning progresses to septicemia, meaning the bacteria has passed into mom's bloodstream (mom would most likely be hospitalized)...

I feel for you! My DH and I both got a pretty nasty case of food poisoning when Vivian was about 6mos old. We had to put her on our bed between us to keep her from crawling off it, and throw her in the pack n play when we were both, um, "occupied". It was pure he!!. It forever ruined the pack n play for her
Drink as much fluid as you can.
it won't last forever!
