Mansoor, I can't help myself so forgive me, but it is stomach 'flu' (short for influenza) and not 'flue' (as in chimney flue pipe for example). Original-Faisal : OUCH !

And proof of that fact is that medicines usually don't have effect on this problem, neither does strict perhaiz (at least for me, I just feel even more sick wanting to eat something but being prevented from eating it!). For foreigners its less cut and dry though, probably sticking to home made food is good idea for them.

When I was visiting Pakistan last summer, I made the unfortunate choice to have some roadside food the very second day of my arrival. Well, to make a long story short, I ended up for a week in Aga Khan with choelra and gastroentitis. What's funny is that, in all these years, this was the very first time to have become seriously ill. A funny memory of that week long stay at AKUH is one of the male nurses attempting to put a rectal catheter up my bum (ouch!!) and asking me "dard toa nahin hora?" I replied to him "nahin, nahin, bohat maza ara hai, aur daba kay dalo...of course, dard ho raha hai." LOL! By the way, Jamal, your idea sounds interesting.
