It began on Tuesday night when I went to bed. I felt the left side of my stomach fighting with the right side. This was after I plucked up the will to go for a bike ride at 9pm. I had not done any exercise all day and needed to, so I jumped on the bike and went around nearby Athletic Park used by our local track cyclists. I went for 20 minutes in the dark, biking with my mouth closed so I didn't swallow any bugs, and trying to avoid cats that were lurking around the track.
Come midnight...hello! Power chuck and felt better. But that was not the end of it. 2:30 an even bigger one. I worried about my wife and the fact that maybe it was the steak cooked on a less than clean BBQ might have been the cause. I tried to put something in my tummy in the morning...yoghurt to combat the bad bacteria in there but that backfired pretty much instantly.
The biggest help for me was Powerade, because I started to sip on that to replace the electrolytes lost. I got through the day and after a good nights sleep felt nearly normal. Same can't be said for my wife who beat me in the chunder stakes 5-3.
