Clinical Pearls

Traveler's Diarrhea: Precautions

For the prevention of traveler’s diarrhea, I advise the following while traveling:

1. Take 2 acidophilus capsules with each meal. This adds protection from foreign bacteria.

2. At the very first indication that there may be some abdominal distress or discomfort, begin taking 1-2 pellets of Arsenicum alb. 30 c, under your tongue, every hour.

3. Use only bottled water.
