Diacort Review, sort of-
Last trip my sorry wingman left me to die in a shitty 3rd world hotel room, his excuse- he had a plane to catch. It started at happy hr. the night before, all of a sudden I felt BAD, told him I was skipping dinner and went to my room to chill. He called my room later (to see if I was dead yet) and I asked him to bring a ginger ale and any stomach meds he could find. It was late Sun. night so I was pretty much screwed as far as getting anything from a farmacia. He shows up with Alka-seltzer

which I drank and threw up before spending the next couple hours on the shitter.

He had an early flight so I was on my own until my 1PM Mon. flight, rough night but I survived and was at the farmacia at 8AM spanglishing "DIACORT"! The lady looked like WTF so I tried "DEE-A-CORT" and she got it. She also gave me 3 capsules of some bacteria-killer that I think was laced with a steroid since I had insomnia the next 2 nights. The first time this happened a few years ago the pharmacist gave me 2 huge red horse-pills that had me feeling better in a few hrs.
Anyway not sure if it was the Diacort or the other drug or both but I was able to make the flight home without incident and kicked myself for not having some Diacort or Cipro on hand, would have given anything to have it in my system 8 hrs. earlier that Sun. night.
Bottom line newbies- if you start blowing out both ends in CR don't waste precious time with over-the-counter crap! You likely have bad bacteria in your gut so get to a pharmacist ASAP for something to kill it.
