Cipro is the pill you want. Luckily you can just walk into a farmacia anywhere and get it without a prescription. I had a horrible experience in Nicaragua trying to tell a pharmacist that I had diarrhea when I didn't know the Spanish word for it. I ended up having to act it out ... it was pretty embarrassing, but also funny now that I think about it!

You can totally eat anything (if you feel like it) but be sure to drink tons of water and replace the electrolytes in your body with something like Gatorade or a powder purchased at the drug store. I honestly think that it's really hard to avoid getting sick in some places, even if you're very diligent about not drinking the water, avoiding raw vegetables, no ice, etc. I was fine in Peru but I had a hell of a time in Central America ... luckily your body starts to build up a resistance after a while. My sister lived in Central America for a few years and she ended up being fine drinking the tap water after about six months.

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

Take Cipro - I think it is Ciproflaxin. Diarrhea is very common when you are in another country. Don't worry as long as you don't have blood in the stool. And just be careful of what you are eating and drinking. I have lived in Central America for about a year now, and I had problems with this for a while, but now I am much more accustomed to the food, etc. and sometimes get Traveler's diarrhea when I come back to visit the states. Crazy, huh! Just shows you how your body can adjust. :)

First off, the yellow stuff was probably stomach juices which are yellow or greenish from your bile (produced by your liver). You sound sick, and like you should go to the doctor. Perhaps you had a bout of food poisoning? Try to drink lots of fluids (i.e. water,gatoraide, etc) as having diarrhea can cause dehydration. Seriously go to the doctor to have anything serious rulled out. Good luck!

Cipro, endocet and lots of water.

You must have drank the water over there did you?
