It was awful but it's all over now. I don't know what you'd call this
disease in the UK. It's highly contagious and caused by several different
viruses and generally called "stomach flu" or "gastroenteritis." It's an
interesting disease and famous too. You've probably read about it infecting
entire cruise ships. Oddly enough, we had received flu shots a day before
this started but gastroenteritis is unrelated to flu.

Your best bet for avoiding this is to wash your hands frequently and avoid
touching your face. There is no cure for stomach flu - you just have to ride
it out. It is important to follow a progressive diet or it could get
"messy."

Yes, I know gastroenteritis! Horrible. I had it once, many years ago in
Germany. We were travelling and stopped at a small cafe/restaurant. I was
so ill after eating there! Eating out is such a rare event now I don't have
to worry too much. I love to cook, D loves to eat my cooking .. so who
needs to go out <g>

Anyway I hope you are both fully recovered.
