Liam Garnett, 37, was placed on a drip after being hit with suspected gastroenteritis while on holiday with his partner Gabrielle, 30, and two kids over Easter. And after returning to the UK, Liam needed further treatment and underwent tests including abdomen and chest x-rays.
His two children, aged six and four, also suffered from symptoms such as diarrhoea and vomiting and one of them is still off school due to illness. Liam, a site manager, is now among dozens of holidaymakers taking legal action against holiday firm TUI for the nightmare break at the Rixos Sungate hotel.

He said: "It was horrible being ill, then seeing my children also suffering from sickness. The holiday was just a disaster and we want to know what went wrong. There were others at the same hotel who were also ill and I know they are considering legal action too as you don't book a five-star holiday expecting to spend most of it in bed with illness."
Liam said they booked the family holiday after having a tough period at work, hoping it would be a nice relaxing break while the kids were off school. The 1,076-room resort, in Kemer on Turkey's southern coast, boasts 11 restaurants including a 'world food' buffet and sushi diner, reports the Mirror.
It also has a water park and 12 swimming pools. But within days of their dream getaway, the family had been struck down with a mystery illness, which had symptoms similar to acute gastroenteritis.
Liam says they saw food served uncovered at the resort, while cutlery, crockery and tables were often dirty.
