Gastric problem comes when I am late to have my meal. I can bear it, as long I take my medicine.
But, diarrhea? That's tough, man. You will be dehydrated, so powerless, no energy. It's like every minute you got to go to the toilet. Can't do anything.
I take many medicines, but it's hard to make it stop. Your stomach feels like it is being twisted. I couldn't say what happened in the toilet, horrible.
At least it will take 1.5 day to be in normal condition again.
And what happened to me last week? It took me 4 days to recover. Shit!
It began on Tuesday, August 02. I have started my work out program. So after office hour, I went to the gym, it was raining and I was taking a bus. I had no umbrella with me. I got wet.
The aerobic class was quite tiring. I didn't change my sweaty clothes, I didn't bring any dry clothes and I thought I would go home in this clothes because it was already dirty. I went out to stop bus. It was cold, the rain has stopped, but I was cold.
I took a shower after got home. I felt cold again.
In the next morning, I felt tired and couldn't get up. I felt something was wrong, my tummy was so big and hard, and when I sat, I had problem breathing normally. I still asked myself about what happened to my body that day. My friend said that I probably had "masuk angin". Thursday, August 04: I plan to do fasting today. After I took sahur (early breakfast), my stomach was feeling really bad and I started "draining", all water came out!
I said to myself, "OK, continue fasting. If in the afternoon it's getting worse then stop fasting". I kept going to toilet for several times, but I fasted untill end of day and took medicine. I went to mall to purchase back pack for my laptop, I plan to bring my laptop the next day for my trip for training in Kuala Lumpur. I was so tired and drained, can't walk further. I took taxi.

I feel allright and fresh today. A little pain felt in the stomach but I have no worry. I'll enjoy my trip. Guess what, I went to executive lounge and waited my plane there. I ate some snacks. I flew on the airplane i talk about in my previous posting.
At 10.30 AM, the stewardess distributed snack box. I only ate one snack and keep the pastry in case I'm hungry. I landed in KLIA at 1 PM, queueing in custom gate took 30 minutes, searching for my bagage location and all took another 30 minutes. I walked quick like someone was chasing me. Many restaurants at the airport and I didn't stop to have my lunch. I keep going and continue my trip, it was long way to go. from KLIA, I took KLIA express to KL Central (28 minutes). My stomach started to want food, I ate the pastry I keep in my back pack. Still hungry. From KL Central, I took taxi to my hotel, I think it took 30 minutes or so. What I remember was I left my hotel around 4 PM, and walked very quick to my office.
I have promised to meet my colleagues there and have some discussion. Julianto told me that the hotel and the office are not far, but hell.......It took me 20 minutes to walk there, sweaty and hungry.
After I was on the floor where my office is, I looked for a face that I would know. Oh, there's Lydia! She introduce me to everyone, I met Joseph and he continued introducing me to the rest.
I told Joseph that I haven't had lunch, then Ravita bought me fried bihun, it was 5 PM! Nice and warm, but unfortunately my gastric problem has already started. So painful! Oh yes.....toilet problem was over.
Met Kevin and Jeonine, finally. With Jeonine, I discussed Capsule Endoscopy for about 45 minutes. Then she & Kevin took me for a dinner. We again, walk.....from office to Suria KLCC. The famous Petronas Tower is there! 
I had my last gastric pill. I had to buy another pack of gastric medicine for precaution. I brought charcoal pills from Jakarta. The meal was great, but I couldn't enjoy it. I took all medicine.

First day of training, I feel better. Last night, I apply balm to my tummy. I believe there was gas, hahahaha....Breakfast in the hotel, morning snack, BIG lunch (I tried almost everything), afternoon snack. Eat, eat, eat. Becarefull, you just had stomach problems.
For dinner, Kevin took us to Indian restaurant. Soli was so excited about it.

God, I was taking a risk. I just got better and I took exotic food, I's so sorry stomach.......It now or never, trying Indian food. I took my charcoal pills first. Ordered yogurt drink and ice tea (they served me tarik tea ice instead). I survived that night but I was soooooo full with all the food I ate.
That Kevin were naughty, he teased me, telling me that I farted in his car. Shoot, Kev.....just because I had stomach problem, doesn't mean I forgot the manner.
Well, anyway.....this is the longest stomach problem I have ever had. And I don't want it happens again.
What to do?
