silly word of warning

tsukikageThis is mainly for people in Chambana, but who knows if this bug'll spread to other regions. I feel kind of silly posting this, but I definitely know I would have appreciated reading it ahead of time, so here goes:
Apparently there's some viral bug going around causing, among other things, abdominal pain. For me this pain has been fairly consistent for most of the last 40 hours, although for the other people I live with it's been coming in waves. In any case, I discovered that the pain gets much worse after eating (after dinner today it was almost to the point of crying, but then again I'm a wuss), so I called the pharmacist and he said that he's familiar with this bug* and that the best thing to do is to try to eat as little as possible and also to stick to easily digestible foods such as simple grains (white bread, rice, saltines, etc.), avoiding dairy. I'm just happy because I called later to ask if sorbet would be fine, and he said that'd work well. ^_^ *eyes my Haagen-Dazs mango sorbet in the fridge* OH! He also said anti-gas medicine such as Maalox can help.
So yeah, if you notice similar symptoms, don't keep going with your regular diet or you might regret it.
* Apparently it basically shuts down the digestive tract.
