Molly, sorry to hear the internal cultures clashed. A few years ago I stumbled upon probiotics to also help with the problems (antibotics wiped out my good bacteria in my system which made me prone to pick-up stomach problems). My son had similar problems and his doctor has him on probiotics regularly (his doctor uses them religiously when he travels).
I am not sure what they would be called or where to find them where you are. In the U.S. and Europe the Dannon (Dannone) has Danactive (Acumel?), which will help over a set of a couple weeks. There are other active cultures in yoghurt and tablets that can be used. This may help get your stomach more acclimated to local bacteria so they do not wipe you out.
Hope you are better soon.

Oh, Molly – I hope you feel better soon!
Italy got the cup! We put up a “News-Fly” with all the horns in Sault Ste. Marie, on one of our Walk-Abouts.
Get better.

I acquired ‘delhi belly’ not once, not twice, but three times during my 6 week stay in chennai (I was also over there for work). the third strike was a doozey and i had to seek medical attention. coconut water tastes nasty, but helps. stay healthy!
