That is great advice for anyone going there. Thank you for sharing with us.

-- Christmas Holiday By Krista Bach.

Hello;

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, and a happy new year as well. I

have just returned from spending a week in Cancun, Mexico. To pinpoint that

is at the tip of South Mexico - it looks like Mexico is coming back up on

the map, that's where I was. At the tip.

Anyway I wanted to write to you and let you know that I learned something

new about myself and how different things react with CHARGE Syndrome. I can

t swallow a lot of things, but have to have Resouce or Ensure in order to

meet my daily requirements, and if I don't I loose weight fast. So I went

ahead and was ready for Hepititis in Ice cubes, dirty water, sunburn, and

knowing that time goes by quickly.

Arrived on December 21st in the afternoon fine, had my usual for dinner -

Resource with some mushrooms that I love, then I went to bed for the night.

It was a long day leaving home at 5:00 in the morning and getting there at

the hotel by 3:00 in the afternoon.

Sunbathed, had lunch and dinner on the 22nd, then on the 23rd my problems

began. So far I've had food from their restaurant - three meals, and had

their water plus other beverages from their restaurant. This is Mexico we're

talking about, food and drinks unlike American, European, Australian, or

even Canadian food or drinks.

My day begins with stomach pains, and it increases through the day that by

the time mid afternoon rolls around I'm in agony, then the diarreah and

vomitting begins. Throughout the 23rd, 24th, 25th, and 26th of December I'm

violently sick, can't eat, can't drink nothing. Constant diarreah, vomitting

and abdominal pain.

On the 27th of December the eve I go home I'm better then I've been all week

But I still can't eat. I have occassional diarreah, and throughout this

time I've been drinking bottled water in order to flush out what ever it was

And I continued drinking bottled water on the 27th.

I came home on the 28th. I have lost 7 lbs - that's litterly a pound a day.

I have never gone to a tropical place like that before, nor have I ever

eaten forgen food and had the same reaction. So my advice to you is if you

re going to a tropical place, or Mexico, please make sure that your CHARGEr

drinks bottled water at all times, sticks to their meal requirement, and

that they keep away from their foods and drinks.

Sincerely yours; Krista Bach.

Oh, my! I'm so sorry for all the agony you went throught when you were

supposed to be on vacation!! And at Christmas!! I'm glad you are

better, that you made it home, and that you didn't require

hospitalization or something. I guess it's good to remember that our

CHARGErs are more delicate in some ways and may react more severely to

things like foreign food and water. I know many people have trouble in

Mexico, but your reaction does seem severe. I know my Aubrie could not

afford to have an illness and weight loss like that. It would be much

harder for her system to recover than if I went through the same thing.

Hugs to you!

And that is why I'm telling you, so that when the opportunity comes, and you do

have the chance to go away to a " exotic " place, you'll remember an experience an

older CHARGEr went through and think twice about food and drinks.
