Girl Travels World

So, I mentioned to my mother that I thought that I might be developing an allergy to dairy because my stomach has been gnarly on-and-off since I left Tanzania. I had some sort of treatment when I got to SA, but it didn’t really seem to work, and I was upset my stomach issue had come back. Being the thoughtful type, mom suggested that it might be a water-borne illness (warning: it’s nasty). After speaking to a doctor, it could also be e. coli, but since it has been a month, and the fact I don’t eat meat, I’m leaning toward the water-borne giardia. Sean mentioned picking up some Cipro in Nairobi - I have some left over from my RTW and am going to give it a shot. (Side note: Anyone else from the Kili trip feeling out of sorts? I realize most normal humans would have gone back to the doctor a second time by now, but I really did just blame it on Africa, and since I’m still here, well……)
