I love travelling

Today, as always, I have a very weak stomach. I'm in Japan right now, and all the unfamiliar foods set me off every time I eat. I can choose between having a great time and starving myself half to death, or sitting in my hotel room all day with stomach pains and diarrhea. FML

Today, everything I eat makes me sick, so I don't know what to eat anymore now. My BMI is low and I'm absolutely starving. I can't even eat rice. FML

Today, I'm sick with a stomach flu. For the last 5 hours, I've been going back and forth from the couch to the bathroom. Each time I get into the bathroom, I have to make a choice of whether to sit on the toilet or kneel by it. Each time I have to clean up the other mess. FML

Today, I have the stomach flu. If my belly growls, I have 30 seconds or less to get to the bathroom. I can't go to the doctor for fear of shitting my pants on the trip there. FML

Today, I was diagnosed with food poisoning for the third time since moving to this base in Japan. My husband keeps cooking questionable meat and vegetables from the commissary because he thinks the food from a Japanese grocery store is radioactive. FML

Today, I hate my body. If I eat anything at all, even a piece of fruit, I get terrible stomach cramps, and yet if I go too long without eating, I get gassy diarrhoea. FML

Today, I'm on spring break on a tropical island, visiting family I hadn't seen in years. They invited me out to eat, and won't take no for an answer. All of this would be wonderful, if it weren't for the fact that I've been vomiting to the point of expelling bile and dry heaving for the last two days. FML

Today, I went out to eat to celebrate getting over the stomach flu. I hadn't eaten solid food in over a week, so I was really excited and ordered my favorite dish. It gave me food poisoning. FML

Today, my roommates decided to do some experimental baking. To be supportive, I tried one of their creations. I've been alternating between vomiting and diarrhea for the past hour. My jaw is sore from vomiting, and I can barely muster the energy to flush between "switching sides" anymore. FML

OP - Surely plain boiled rice would be fine? It's about as bland as it's possible to get and should really not upset your stomach. As others have pointed out, Mc Donalds should be available in Japan. McDonalds is absolutely everywhere. Nothing in even a foreign McDonalds store should taste odd or contain anything different, as I am pretty sure all the food is made to a specific recipe , frozen and shipped worldwide. Therefore the McDonalds you get in the US will be the very same elsewhere. Something light like 6 nuggets and fries should not upset your constitution. It may not be healthy but it will keep you going so you won't have to half starve.

Contrary to popular belief, not all Japanese food is raw fish and wasabi! Many basic foods (bread and the kind) are the same, but good luck finding fruit that isn't completely over expensive. If you're in a major city, a lot of restaurants have Western menus, and most of the fast food is the same too.
