indigo_rose99I love Indian food. I adore curry and rice.
At 2am this morning, I woke to the sound of uncontrollable retching from the room next door. It was a firm reminder that I should Stick To The Plan.
T went through the list for me, having done this more recently. No dairy. No fresh fruit in any form. No vegetables. Extremely hot well-cooked meat is fine. Water from bottles that I personally open are fine. Do not drink from the cups.
I had a hot freshly cooked omelet for breakfast. A food bar for lunch. A food bar for dinner. Lunch was especially hard as my students were concerned when I did not eat. They kept trying to offer me something else: pizza, subway... *roll eyes* I did not complicate their lives with an explanation that I don't eat those things currently. I thought my explanation of risk was on topic for the class. *sigh* They took it well.
I may gnaw my arm off before I make it back home.

Date: 2010-10-05 02:29 pm (UTC)I stuck to The Plan in a modified form while I was in Ecuador for school. No lettuce, nothing that had touched water and couldn't be peeled (and oh, the fruit was soooo tempting!), etc. I did eat out at various restaurants, including Burger King and Pizza Hut, but really watched where the water came from. I had only one mild tummy upset and that was likely from bad mayo at my host family's house. I also lost about 15 lbs.
