A white diet is foods that are white like mashed potatoes

We were in South Africa last December on both Regent and our own planned land trips and on the advice of our physician took the medication to prevent malaria. We did not have any side effects that we were told about. After about 15 days of taking the medication (almost at the end of our dosage), I became unable to eat. After a couple of days of getting weaker and weaker, I visited the Regent ship doctor. Took my medical history and told me that I had developed a toxcicity to the medication. He explained that the medication does more good than harm but that some people develope this situation. Nothing to be alarmed about. Stay on a white diet for 3 days, drink lots of fluid and you will fine. Compass Rose has a white diet menu.
