Is your spouse from a country where you get diarrhea if you go there?

[Uncle Wally 2]

"First world", "third world", "developing", "undeveloped" and "developed"... these terms are a bunch of PC nonsensical catch-phrases.

We all know there are only two types of countries: Countries where you're guaranteed a case of the runs for a few days when you visit, and those where you aren't.

Vote.

Yes. Although, to be fair, I get my fair share of diarrhea here in the good old US of A as well.

[Rhiannercakes 14]

Nope.

Not that I'm aware of anyway.

[JVKn'CVO 11]

Well...No. But Justin learned that Fernet Branca and Tequila don't mix

eta: no runs though...just a really bad headache

Saludos,

Caro

Definitely. But nothing that a visit to Soi Cowboy can't cure.

Wally, I thought you were going to change your avatar?

Yes. Although, to be fair, I get my fair share of diarrhea here in the good old US of A as well.

Yuck! Change of diet needed?

The answer would generally be yep, but for whatever reason, it hasn't happened to me there. However, it happened to my 8-month-old, and I had to travel back to China with her having leaked on me. I had soooo much stuff for her in my carry-on, that I had no change of clothes for me. It got me empty seats next to me, though. A little trick if you are planning on traveling with a small child - let them sh*t on you.

Depends on what I eat there that I apparently forgot my lesson about last time.

[Nagishkaw 510]

Nope because I refused to eat . Had my last meal on the plane and chowed down like crazy on the plane back home.

Water composition is different in each and every country. So, technically, you can answer yes with any country on the planet.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Yes.

I take Cipro with me in case it's unusually bad.

We are a couple from same country as AJ. We basically take some precautions (use boil-filtered water for drinking, or soda if we have to purchase) but if it hits--well, grit-and-bear-it.

[HAL 9000 96]

Any new invasion of gut flora can and likely does cause the runs.

I think I may have had a previous strain of Swine Flue while staying for a few months. That counts for something.

[redglasses 1]

Nope, but I drink Crystal Geyser anyways.

[illnevergetthis 5]

I've had no problems at all!
