I have no idea what the fuck kind of microorganisms decided to go on a multi-day bender in my digestive tract and lymphatic system, but I really, really hope that never happens again. (And I suspect [livejournal.com profile] enochsmiles will be happy if he never has to listen to me whimpering incoherently for two days in a row ever again, either.)

Time to go find out whether my body believes in the concept of "food" again yet. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I'm really at a loss as to why I've been sick so frequently this year. The tuberculosis test made sense, but for some reason my GI tract has flipped the hell out on me at least once a month so far.

It makes me sad, I'd just eaten a lot of really tasty cheese too :(

I was going to say stress, too.

In any case, this one I learned from being a mommy: The BRAT diet is the best thing to get back in tummy shape after a bout of gastro. BRAT, as in, banana, rice, apple sauce and toast.

And stay away from dairy until you are completely okay! Diary, such as the yummy tasty cheese, will only compound the symptoms of GI upset.

Get better soon!

Ooh, bananas actually sound really good right now. We even have some, as well as everything else on that list except rice.

*makes kitty eyes at [livejournal.com profile] enochsmiles so he will get me rice*

Thanks for the tips!
