That Diarrhoea-ic Recurrence

I spoke too soon damn it.

As I thought the illness's gone that I was happy and overjoyed and hyperactive last night when I kept on bugging the flogger that I was bored to death, I eventually decided to join the bloggers for lunch at the Curve today. Burnt a hole in the wallet for the lunch in Italiannies. These peeps sure do know what fine dining is, and I'm sure I'd go broke in no time if I do this often. *sniggering* The last time I had Italiannies, was the special occasion of Mum's birthday. But ah well, if the gathering is a GATHERING, then I guess I'm fine with it.

After God knows how many refills of iced lemon tea, I was still doing fine. The stomach was full no doubt, what's more with the carbonara and pastas. Cleared the bladder and walked the afternoon off into some interior designs and slacking off in MPH. Eventually dinner time came, and the group of 7 reduced to just 5 when the doctor and the one who called himself "us" left for dinner with their families. We walked over to Cineleisure and I had curry vermicelli with Ipoh white coffee.

It wasn't until 8-ish that we parted ways and me driving back. The stomach's feeling funny, but it didn't occur to me that I'd need another loo business. It was only when I reached home, and took out everything from the pocket that I felt the urge to defecate. The bathroom in the room was unfortunately occupied, so I spent a few seconds taking the toilet roll from the cupboard and rushed out to the common bathroom in the hallway. Yeaps, before I could really settle down on the throne, I was literally peeing through the anus. Gross.... The 9th series of diarrhoea.


Blardy hell... Yeap, it looked coffee-ish, if not Coke-ish....

Well... Seriously, I don't think it's food poisoning this time round. Couldn't be bugs either or I'd already be lying in the hospital by now. Viral infection is self-limiting alright, but recurrence THIS soon?? I had pretty decent meals since I pronounced I'm fine. I didn't take lunch at the faculty cafeteria, but instead mixed rice from a Chinese stall in one of the students' hostel, dinner last night was settled with Dutch Lady chocolate milk and instant noodle. I never had any problem with instant noodle, nor I had any with chocolate milk. Milk yes, I get diarrhoea from that, might've got lactose intolerence, who knows, but chocolate nope, never before.

So I'm guessing it's coffee. Allergies to coffee... I thought there was another time before that I didn't feel well with the stomach after taking white coffee. So I did some searching on the net and found this.

www.alergies-team.com: "If you are allergic to coffee, you have an Allergies Type 1, also called contact allergy. The immune system overreacts to the proteins found in the coffee. The immune system products antibodies that are designed to fight off the harmful coffee proteins. The reason the body overacts to certain foods is not clear and more studies are needed. Most food allergy reactions usually happen within a few minutes to a few hours after drinking coffee. Most mild to moderate reactions last less than a day and can involve a rash on the skin, cramps, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, runny nose, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing..."

Damnit, now I need something new as CNS stimulant.

Oh good griefs my dear Zeus! That means no more Starbucks and CoffeeBean too! Shucks...
