poop

let's talk about poop shall we. i've never been travelling where the topic of the good ol'BM hasn't come up - either by me, my friends or complete strangers. not sure what it is about being away from 'home' but potty talk is a general theme while travelling.

i was very lucky while in africa. i never had diarrhea once! isn't that mad? or maybe once..but i can't quite remember. i was the only one who was regular the whole time. i had friends who couldn't go, were going none stop and/or just not feeling right. i could listen and share stories of my time in south-east asia but i didn't really have much to contribute. (PS Karl, your bus story in vietnam is still HANDS DOWN the best travel diarrhea story).

so my point....ever since i've been home i've been 'sick'. i dare not fart for fear of shitting myself. it sucks. i'm not alone - poor marisse is the same. what's up? i thought it was the water - to much processing? dairy? but now i think i've figured it out - caffeine. i've had nothing but instant coffee for the past 7 seven months (minus a few cups of 'filter' coffee here and there) and now i'm doing the latte thing (with soy milk). i think it's too hard on my system.

aren't you glad you read this post?
