Carmen,

Mastic gum supplements are available at many health food stores and on the Internet. If you try it, I hope you’ll find positive results.

Be well!

Ha! At least you outlasted most of the other tourists!

On a serious note, I know that some people do take probiotics prior to, during and after travel. I’m not sure if that would have been enough to stave off the Egypt’s revenge but maybe.

Be well!

My late wife used a not so alternative way to cope with Montezuma’s Revenge. She premedicated for our tour to Egypt and she was the only member of the 50 plus tourists in the tour not to get sick. I was a big showoff eating everyone’s raw salad but toward the end of the tour, it hit me. Jane said when I failed to show up at dinner, everyone strained to conceal their glee.

H pylori! — Wow!
A Nurse friend of mine chewed this while she was pregnant.
Thought it was just pica – now I know better.
