About three days ago, I started having
these stomach pains shortly after lunch.
They weren't constant, more like every so
often my stomach would hurt, almost like a
cramp. This has continued through
yesterday. I haven't had the pains yet
today (it's almost 9:00am). However, I
haven't had much of an appetite since the
pains started and i've been slightly
nauseous at times. Also, on the first
day, my stool was slightly softer/mushier
than usual, but today it is definitely
watery diarrhea, no diarrhea pain though,
just urges to go. I have been in taiwan
for the past two weeks, but I come here
once every one or two years as my
relatives live here. I am 19 years old.
Any idea what's wrong?

Your stomach is probably getting used to
the new foods you are eating at a
different place, even if you're eating the
same things you eat in taiwan, there are
still some differences between the same
foods here and in taiwan. You may rid the
pains after a week or so of getting used
to the food.
If you find your pains to be severe or it
lasts for longer than a week, go see a
doctor... Good luck to you! Wish you
well!

Update: not long ago, I experience an
overwhelming feeling of nausea, complete
with the warning signal that I was about
to vomit- a tingling, tightening sensation
in my nose as well as my stomach. I
rushed off to the bathroom, but by the
time I got there, the need to vomit
passed, although the nausea still remains.
Stomach flu?

Yep. I threw up two hours later. My
aunt had me go to the doctor's where they
said I had the stomach flu and gave me
some medicine. So much for my "vomit
streak" of five years.
