Health Update

According to the clinic, I am parasite free.  The doctor feels the antibiotic I took has probably done its job and my body is just slow to recover.  He has given me some rehydration powder and told me to stick to the BRAT diet: Bananas, Rice, Apples and Toast.  Since apples are nowhere to be found and I’m gluten free, that pretty much leaves me with the BR diet.  I’m to eliminate yogurt and all dairy, which I feel has been about the only thing keeping me alive, but I’ll give it a go.  The clinic will run a culture and send me an email with the results, as I will be in Bangkok before those are available.

It is a great relief to know that I’m not dealing with a parasite.  If my body just needs time to recover, I can manage that.  The fear of it being something worse has had me worried.  So now I just have to wait.
