Sorry to hear you got a stomach ache.
I don't know if this is true or not but I hear it a lot: "Never eat oysters in a month without an 'R' in it."
Quote:
What happens in May, June, July and August? And why shouldn't you eat oysters then?
Oysters spawn during the summer. Spawning takes a lot of energy. During reproduction, an oyster consumes the energy stored in its plump little body to aid in its heroic and taxing effort. The result is a tired, flaccid, mushy oyster with a milky appearance.
In actuality, it's not that you can't or shouldn't eat healthy oysters in the summer. Or that you'll die from eating one. It's that they're, er, busy and, as such, not at their prime for eating.

That could possibly be the reason why they didn't look fresh. I don't eat raw oysters so I don't know
