calcal,
Did you eat 'ginger vinegar' before you started to 肚痾? I am a supporter of Chinese medicine, so I usually go to chinese doctor when I am not feeling well. The doctor always tells me it's because of my kidney and stomach are 'hui' that will cause for 肚痾. The diarrhea also means that your body does not absorb the food that you eat, esp. the so-called nutritious soup.
TTeresa,
I am sorry to hear that you have such an experience.
What did the doctor at the public hospital say to you? Did they apologise to you?
Rest more, and I hope that you would feel a lot better before your son's full month.
