The first thing to do in order to avoid travelers’ diarrhea is to make sure you are eating and drinking safely. Avoid drinking contaminated water, and drink from bottles or sealed drinks. Avoid certain foods, such as undercooked meats, fruits and vegetables that you are unable to peel.

Another helpful tip is to make sure you are using Pepto Bismol properly and effectively. Remember that this is used to prevent diarrhea, not treat it! However, there are many effective medications and drugs to treat diarrhea. Contact Penn Travel Medication to see which drug is right for you!
