Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 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. --------------------------------- Post your free ad now! Yahoo! Canada Personals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
