Speaking to my doctor in preparation for our honeymoon to Bali this October (shots, etc.) I was given some seemingly odd advice on how to avoid getting bali belly. Chew 2 pepto bismol tablets 4 times a day every day that you are there! It seems like quite a lot of effort to go through and I can't imagine that there aren't unintended side effects (I shudder to think of what they might be -- possibly worse than the BB). Just curious if anyone has heard of this prevention technique or possibly even tried it. This was a "doctor"'s advice so I assume it is safe and effective (possibly not a safe assumption).
This board is definitely getting my fiancee and I really excited about our trip. We are staying at the two 4 Seasons resorts and promise to post a "just back" when we return.
Many thanks.
