An official says Thailand's Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has been hospitalized with a suspected case of food poisoning.
A policeman responsible for her security says Yingluck went to Rama IX Hospital for treatment early Tuesday.
The bodyguard says Yingluck's illness is "probably food poisoning" but it was not clear what meal caused the illness. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
Yingluck had been scheduled to chair the weekly Cabinet meeting Tuesday morning. She handed over the responsibility to Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Yongyuth Wichaidith.
Yingluck became Thailand's first female prime ministe after her party won elections earlier this year.
