Warning: Diarrhea talk below.
It’s hard to love this place when it’s essentially eating your stomach. I’ve been having a pretty rough time for the last 36 hours, mostly sleeping and laying in my room, running to the bathroom every couple hours. But today is the first day of classes, so we walked 3 kilometers (about 45 minutes) to school this morning and I basically wanted to pass out on the side of the road. Diarrhea tummy and heat don’t really mix too well.
I don’t know how people here deal with the stomach flu or other things that make your stomach unsettled, because the food here isn’t really soothing for my nausea. I’m sure they have soups of some kind, but I had a hard time even venturing out of my apartment yesterday for fear of needing a bathroom and not being able to find one.
Lipton boxed chicken noodle soup has definitely saved me, so I’m not about to keel over from lack of nourishment, and I brought some Gatorade so at least I won’t die here! (It’s not really that bad, I just like being dramatic.)
Anyway, today should be exciting to say the least. Wish me luck!
Rice and yoghurt might help. Wish you a speedy recovery.
Thank you! I had some rice for lunch and actually feel alright, and I’ll try to get some yogurt! Thanks for the tip :)
Welcome!
The magic word is ‘curd rice’. :) When the stomach acts odd you go with curd rice. Will fill you up, and won’t screw what’s already bad.We don’t use the term Yogurt so much here.
Nice blog you’ve got there btw. :)
I felt so bad for you while reading this…. hope it didn’t last too long!!
Enjoying your blog, you’re a great writer :)
