[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tips from Peace Corps: you can make rehydration solution in a quart/liter jar, fill it with water and enough salt so it tastes like tears. Add 7 or 8 spoonfuls of sugar, choke down what you can. To test for severe dehydration, pinch the skin on the back of your hand. If it doesn't bounce back quickly it's time for the hospital. And diarrhea like rice is probably cholera. Drink whatever you can and get to the hospital ASAP! Once you can eat a bit, the BRAT diet is a good plan. Bananas, rice, applesauce, toast. I've also found bananas excellent for vomiting, they absorb stomach acid and chunks don't get stuck in your nose. I'm sorry this is happening, I hope you feel better soon![/quote Hello to my fellow RPCV!! These stories are good, but nothing compares to the level of GI distress you can achieve in a rural community in West Africa when you’re 23 and think you don’t need to wash your vegetables thoroughly.[/quote]
