[Steppes] avoiding traveler's tummy in Mexico..

[kellie H]

Re: the dreaded runny tummy; 
NO local water (e. coli), no fish (salmonella, worms), no pork (trichinosis), no unpeeled produce unless THOROUGHLY washed ( heavy insecticides banned in the US, e. coli, mold), wipe glasses and utensils with an antiseptic wipe before use (e. coli, staph, strep, insect leavings).  The US is a very sanitary place compared to the rest of the world, and we have developed wimpy digestive tracts!  
Get a motion-sickness patch from your doc.  It really helps with the plane ride and elevation/altitude sickness in the mountians, if you are susceptible to such distress (Mexico City is a higher elevation than Denver), and does not cause drowsiness like Dramamine.  
Lessons learned the hard way....

already eating yogurt and packing the Pepto-Bismol and Imodium.)
