! yes i had bhel puri two days ago..thought it was the mall and i would be safe. didnt realise half way while eating that i think the guy didnt use any gloves (or plastic cover)....but i still did eat the whole thing...darn it, it was too freaking tasty.

4 kilos less now, i went to the doc today and he gave some colorful pills. lets seee..........

do they sell any adult diapers here?      anyone tried it?

That dark chutney is probably the culprit. Monsoon time no good for such things.

That sounds pretty nasty, hope you will be fine soon!

[retiredchutney]

yeah its either the green chutney or tamarind chutney that did me in.  or it could be cold crushed potatoes or the unwashed cilantro~ or this guys hand....hmmmmmmmm

i think i am done for now...atleast for this year. no more bhelpuri or any of the puri

GC, Home-made remedies  is the way to go. The chats are very tasty and it is hard to say no to chats. I wish you a speedy recovery.

PS.  I am sorry, I can't help you with any info on adult diapers.

I was wondering why GC was MIA, turns out he went to do Bhelpuri and green chutney review for the forum, a community service!

Oh, no!  Sounds terrible!  This is NOT the recommended way to lose weight!  I hope the colorful pills and home remedies are working their magic.

I hope you're feeling much better today GC - What a way to lose weight - 4kilos in two days!!!  Just take it easy and stay away from those puris, at least for the time being

[retiredchutney]

thanks everyone for your wishes.  i will take all i can get .  talk about bhelpuri blues! i am still not out of the woods by a long shot. it might take a week or maybe more..thats the general consensus around here.

i think the nastiest home remedy that i did was jeera (cumin), dry fried to blacken, which then was powdered and then made into a paste with a bit of honey. it was like eating charcoal.

but i think this strain is a nasty one..i dont know if its a bacteria or a virus or a parasite.   the previous attacks i had in my earlier ones werent this vicious.   as far as the weightloss, on hindsight, i think with all the gluttony i was indulging in, maybe it was the karma....hmmmmmm

anyways i just cannot imagine if i were a traveller going through this.

in the comfort of a home, being spoilt with attention and service~ makes such a big difference.
