Has anyone else been to morocco and come back with Campylobacter.?

I went to morocco last november and on return was off work for 2 weeks with an intestinal infection of campylobactor. Believe me this was no laughing matter, with hourly attacks of stomach cramp and toilet visits just to squeeze out 1ml of infected bowel contents. After recovery the infection never seemed to totally go away. In fact, everytime i eat something slightly dodgy i seem to get the infection back, but in a much milder form. Does anyone have any experience of this or any comments......cheers. just off to the loo.....

Ahhh... The Moroccans and their love of slighty undercooked chicken..

You did know that Campy is just the name of the bacteria itself?... It can cause all sorts o' nastiness including (But not limited to)

Dysentery
Periodontitis
Rupture of the Illium & colon
Enteritis

It's possible that you've got a little colony of enterotoxins holed-up in your gut.. .

Pretty much all you can do is keep your electrolytes up and stay hydrated... Antibiotics don't tend to do much

Good luck dude...

You don't need to go to Morocco to get it, my sister had it, never been out of the country!
