Intermittent Nausea Problem After Visiting Guatemala Posted: 06-11-06 21:32pm
My wife recently went to guatemala for two
weeks. She took all the precautions while
there, but ended getting sick. It was
actually a chest cold that went from the
nose to throat to cough. At one point she
did get sick to her stomach, but only once
while she was sick. She showed no other
signs of stomach problems while there.
About 1 week after she returned, her
cold was gone. She ate a bowl of ramen
noodles and got extremely nausiated. She
threw up several times, then went to sleep
for a few hours and was fine after that.
She was eating fine after that, until four
days later. She had a rice bowl, with a
pre-packaged pouch of sauce, veggies and
meat that you pour over the top. The
exact same thing happened, where she
immediately got nausiated and vomited
several times.
She has never had problems getting
sick after eating and I am concerned that
this is somehow related to her visit to
guatemala. The way it is intermmittent is
strange though. Does anyone have any
thoughts of what this could be?
By the way, both episodes where at
night and she just had her period so she
is not pregnant.
