Going back to CR for 2nd time but don't want

[anxietyattack]

to come back to the US and have the runs for 3 weeks. Any recommendations? Last time i was there in March i didn't drink the water but ate some fruits i never had before. Also i had like two italian ices on the beach and ate a lot of fish. What is the best way to avoid the parasites. I don't want to have to come back to jersey and be in the middle of reffing a field hockey or soccer game and run off the field right in the middle of it because my stomach is so messed up! This happened to me while reffing a lacrosse game and i was so stinking embarassed! I also let one go while setting the girls up for a draw in the middle of the field and the gals started howling with laughter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

HighAnxiety,

Having lived here in San Jose for the past 8 years, I have found the food to be excellent and the water fine (although I must admit that I usually substitute Bavaria Negra for water whenever possible). If you avoid eating at places that look like you should avoid them, you shouldn't have any troubles. But then, my 23 years of Navy Life may have toughened my insides somewhat.

Come and enjoy ... You won't regret it!

AA,
Could be the GOOD food you got in C.R is fighting with the bad JUNK food thats in your system, and the Fish etc kicked the junk food out of your body.

I have never had a problem in six trips. Water is hundred times better than in Mexico, you can truly drink it from the tap although its still best to stick to bottles.

Good points ALL thanks!

I gotta admit that i was very impressed with the food in Costa Rica. I never ate greasy food in CR and i wish i could always eat the things that i ate there. It's just when i got back to the US that i felt like my insides might never be the same again. I'm sure it was just a shock to my system from all the bad food in jersey.

the civiche is the culpirit.

have some fish.. but make sure you eat starch, lots of bread.

dont stop eating the fruit... its all good for you...
the issue is... american food has so many damn preservatives.. that your body cant process the nurtients in food... it makes your intestines weak...
so when you come here and eat food that is fresh... you shit yourself stupide..
the body isnt used to food that it can acctualy absorb nutrients from with out starving cells in teh body with preservatives....

i had the same isse too... just eat a mango once a day.. enough enzymes in there to keep you straight.....



good luck.. have fun...
