Recently in Sumatra I was repeatedly infected with giardiasis, it being the worst case of infection I've had in nearly three decades of living and traveling within the region. I was infected several times in Bukit Lawang from different warungs (local eateries) resulting in weight loss, fatigue and a constant metallic taste in the mouth from continuously pumping loads of antibiotics into the system. I'd recover from one infection to be struck down almost immediately by another leading me to believe Bukit Lawang to be one of the most unhygienic places I've come across as far as food preparation is concerned.

Amusing that a 500KHR pill known as Tinidazole taken between 500mg and 2000mg will fix you in 24 hours, and yet people languish with the issues for days or weeks. Keep this in your backpack at all times, it will literally save your ass.

The issue was the constant reinfection, not the cure.

As a community service I'd also like to offer the Bristol Stool chart. Type 3-4 are considered ideal.

You're welcome.

At least it's not the one with their cocks out.

With people from civilized societies, the focus is on providing good food and good service. This results in the restaurant having a good reputation, and a lot of repeat business. These restaurants normally have a lot of customers.

In the poor Asian countries, people often sell food which they would not eat themselves. Cambodian people will even tell you this. It is just another way of scamming people. When they have your money, and you are sick, they think they are clever. They just think about getting money today. They dont think about repeat business.

If a person in a poor Asian country would open a restaurant, and focus on providing the best food they can, they would have a very successful business, and make a lot of money. Why dont they think about repeat business, instead of just getting your money today?

The reinfection was because it was a protazoan infection TINIDAZOLE will take care of this not antibiotics
