have only a very mild dose of BB or a change in how you go - BUT believe me when I say that both Fiona & myself know only too well that nothing other than a trip to the Doctor's or proper medication will help with full blown BB - sadly I speak from experience.
I have had " change in habits" just about every trip BUT BB IS a hell of lot different.Believe me there is a huge amount of difference bewteen what most of us think is BB & how can I politely put it ? " A Change in our daily habits "
I have been travelling around the world for way over 20 years & fortunately I know the difference now.IF you have ever had full on BB vs " a change in habits " believe me you WILL darn well know the difference .The pain,the cramps,feeling dizzy,close to passing out,feeling so weak,thinking you are going to die & almost wishing you would ,going 20x a day plus- darn well it sure is nothing like a change in habits !!!
BTW - I used to swear by Norrit - that was until I got full BB.Try it IF your problems are mild BUT if you get really crook for heaven's sake ( stuff the expense) see a Doctor or an Apotik for proper anti-biotics or medication.Don't leave it too long or your holiday will be wrecked.
