CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) - The Rev. Jesse Jackson - who was hospitalized after suffering stomach pains - was released Friday after being treated for food poisoning, his spokesman said. "Reverend Jackson has just left the hospital. Doctors say he is recovering nicely and is expected to make a full and complete recovery from food poisoning. Doctors do not expect the reverend to suffer long-term side effects from this illness," said his spokesman, Sam Chapman. Jackson, 66, a long-time civil rights activist, admitted himself to Northwestern Memorial Hospital around 3 p.m. Wednesday, complaining of stomach pains, hospital spokeswoman Latoya Porter said. Doctors diagnosed him with viral gastroenteritis and severe dehydration. Viral gastroenteritis is commonly referred to as the stomach flu and is not considered serious for most people. CORRECTED 3:05pm to reflect that Jackson was not working on behalf of the Obama campaign at the time he fell ill. Filed under: Jesse Jackson
