When you are not pretty much sure if the local water is clean and pure, it’s better not to risk your health and buy bottled water during the travel. Make sure to have a look at the seal on the bottle top to double-check if the bottle has not been re-filled.

Diarrhea and gastrointestinal problems are mainly caused due to food contamination during travel. To rule out any contamination chances, prefer eating fresh and carefully cooked food items. Any salads washed under local tap water or fruits and vegetables that have not been peeled by you, need to be avoided to reduce the risk of catching a certain infection or disease.

When your gut does not readily digest the food or in case you have taken a portion of food that is completely new to your stomach, then it gives rise to food intolerance, resulting in severe pains, vomits, cramps, heartburn and as server as diarrhea. In most of the cases, it is not very serious and the person easily recovers from it within a few hours or a day.
