Down with Stomach Flu

I had a very serious diarrhea after I came back from a friend wedding lunch; on the same day my husband brought me to visit a doctor and he told me this could be food poisoning.

On the third day, my diarrhea stop, but I am still feeling cold and weak, today, it is the 4th day, my diarrhea coming back :(, so I visited my company panel doctor, she diagnose me as stomach flu. I had been heard people complain they have "stomach flu” and today it is the first time it happened on me.

Doctor normally use the term gastroenteritis, which means irritated and inflamed stomach and intestines (the gastrointestinal tract) and may be any number of things, including bacteria or viruses.

Usually, gastroenteritis is caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites, which can spread quickly through contaminated food or water.

Bacteria that cause gastroenteritis include Escherichia coli. Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Shigella. These bacteria are usually found in food, but can be spread person to person.
Viruses that trigger gastroenteritis include adenoviruses, rotaviruses, calciviruses, astroviruses, and norovirus.

Parasites and protozoans that commonly lead to gastroenteritis include Giardia and cryptosporidium. The parasite Giardia lives in the intestines of infected people or animals, and often spreads when someone swallows polluted water.

Chemical toxins in seafood can also cause gastroenteritis. So can exposure to heavy metals, such as lead in drinking water.

The Mandatory Singapore Citizenship Journey implemented in earlier 2011 to all new citizens. The programme must be completed in two months from the date of receiving their in-principal approval letter. Once the said programme has been completed, you will be issued another letter from ICA requesting you to formally renounce your Malaysian Citizenship at Malaysian High Commission. A deadline will be stated in the letter. For my case, it is about 1.5 month from the date of the letter. Therefore, it is advisable for you to finish your unfinished business before you surrender all citizenship. For those who have any properties in Malaysia, please check with your lawyer on as to what you need to do.
