Ich

Woke up about half an hour ago with my head full of the smell of vomit and my stomach doing a dance much like... Well, like a particularly bad dance.

I spent fifteen minutes spitting into the toilet as pieces of detritus found their way up. Cynra brought me a tumbler of water and some tissues, and eventually I managed to level out enough to put down some pepto bismoll.

I don't know what did this to me; possibly the dinner roti, possibly something in the water I drank at GM's house.

It's been gassy since my stomach settled, and the back of my throat is burned and, as you can tell, I haven't been able to get back to sleep.

Ick. I hope you're feeling better now :-)

[thebitterguy]

My throat is very sore, and I'm both gassy and nauseous, but on the plus side, I've called in for the day.

Reading about all you eat over the years, I'm surprise this hasn't happened before.

Get well soon, and consider a BRAT* diet for at least one meal before reintroducing your tum to a festival of competing and firey spices.

* Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast.

Will do. My throat feels better now, at least.

Oh no! Feel better soon!!!!!!!

[thebitterguy]

Thanks. It's clearing up a little, which is good.

Sorry to hear about this, Justin. Sounds like it was a case of food poisoning to me. Trust you're feeling better now this bright a.m.?

Doc Mystery's suggestion of the BRAT diet for today is a good one. :)

The banana was very tasty. Now I have to make rice.

[thebitterguy]

And I am feeling better this morning, yah.

So, what kind of rice did you have?

I have grown rather fond of basmati these past few (diabetic) years.

[thebitterguy]

I go with brown with a little lemon, but because I'm criminally lazy I decided to go with toast instead.

[jkahane.livejournal.com]

Brown rice is good, with a little lemon and a couple of spices for flavour.

I used to like toast; can only eat whole wheat toast now, 'cause of the diabetes, and it just doesn't have much taste to it. Other than when one puts jam or jelly on it - oh, right, sugar-free somewhat tasteless jam! *sigh*

Hmm, perhaps a bit of rice with tonight's stir fry? :)

*patpat* Hope you are feeling much much better.

I bounced back fairly well, thanks. I could happily go awhile before having that happen again, though.
