Today’s story きょうの あらすじ

Since coming to Thailand, I kept eating spicy, delicious Thai food, and I ended up with an upset stomach. In the middle of the night, my stomach suddenly started to hurt, and I rushed to the bathroom. The cause was clearly eating too much spicy food. Today again, I've ended up going to the bathroom three times already since this morning. I have an appetite, and I want to eat delicious food and spicy food too, but it's only my stomach that isn't doing well. With no other choice, I spent that day taking medicine and eating Thai rice porridge and food that isn't spicy. Thanks to the medicine and the porridge, my stomach has also gotten a lot better. I'm a big eater, so I always end up eating too much, but I really need to keep it in moderation, don't I?
