gee that generates conversation -just a warning it is not good to take immodium as this bug should not be kept in the gut!! avoid any medication that will do this as can be very dangerous - my father brought back a bug from overseas & was very ill for months after he was advised to take this to prevent the runs, inner health capsules are most benificial if consumed at least a mth before you leave even better if you can take at least 3mth before we have ours all year around not sure on the rasberry cordial, but would only see benifit if it was the puree & 100% not a cordial as that is only pure sugar & that wouldnt combat anything but to over produce your insulin & give you a sugar rush which in turn is only going to put more stress on your kidneys !!have heard of the puree & yes it is hard to get hold of, everyday basic hygiene is the only way to go- washing hands before eating & not putting hands into mouth & only drinking bottled (sealed water) unless in a decent eatery (but then again some good food comes from the carts) just take care - i havent had it yet but partener did but only for the afternoon & yes it was Bali Belly- he had Dr give him 2 small white pills & he was as good as gold within the hour, i will use Dr everytime as it is better to only put up with it for that amount of time instead of couple of days - that is what travel insurance is for
