Don´t eat the food in Barranquilla!!

[Fuzzyone]

Last week I was in the downtown Barranquilla area and I told my wife I wanted to buy this bread stick filled with cheese. She told me I would not because the place is not clean. Well my wife was right and I was wrong. In about two days after that I felt like I got hit with a sledgehammer. I was sick as a dog, my whole body hurt and I ended up laying in bed for about 5 days. After that it took me another 3 days just to want to eat. What a diet I lost about 15 pounds on that one....

yu may need to get antibiotics when yu get hit with that. talk to your doc - there are some new meds on the market that might prevent getting sick in the first place.  I was disappointed with the quality of the food in BQ on my last trip

I am not an MD, but when I've gotten the Inca's revenge, I take Cipro. It's a potent general purpose antibiotic.  If Colombia is like Peru, you can buy it over the counter in any pharmacy in 500 mg. You probably would have been back on your feet in 2 days by taking Cipro.  It's dirt cheap in Peru, too.

Actually my wife got me a round of antibiotics that took care of it. You might want to try this place called Beyrouth . They have great chicken and beef, the wait staff are not the best but I did like the food and it was cheap..
