Summer is here and with it a well-deserved vacation. We are all looking forward to relaxing, switching off, seeing something beautiful and regenerating ourselves. But if you are planning a more exotic vacation, it could be spoiled by some bacteria or simply food that our digestive system is not used to. How can we have a great vacation, not spend it in the hotel toilet and instead enjoy the sea, trips, nature...?<\/span><\/p>\n

What is diarrhea and how does it occur?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"A<\/a>The most common discomfort we can experience while traveling is diarrhea. It is caused by impaired water absorption<\/b> in the intestines, which causes bacteria or viruses<\/b>The body's attempt to flush these "unwelcome guests" out of the body results in excessive water excretion<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore it is necessary increased fluid intake<\/b>, ideally clean still or slightly sparkling water or black unsweetened tea. It is also good to use diet<\/b> in the form of light meals such as rice, bananas, biscuits, broth without vegetables. We also definitely need to skip fried and fatty foods, at least for a while.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also detoxification<\/b> <\/a>is a great cleanser for our intestines, whether as their aftercare, <\/b>or effective prevention<\/b>. You can so body get rid of unwanted toxins<\/span>, possibly replenish minerals<\/span> necessary for our organism or to carry out a general detoxification of the body<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is "Pharaoh's Revenge"?<\/span><\/h2>\n

"Pharaoh's Revenge" or traveler's diarrhea is usually caused by a bacteria Escherichia coli<\/b> and its enterotoxic strains. It usually lurks in contaminated water and food<\/b>We should be especially careful of it in places with lower hygiene standards than we are used to. This includes places like Egypt, India, Bali, Vietnam, but also some places in South and Central America.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to avoid diarrhea when traveling?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"As we have already mentioned, the most important things to be careful of are water and food.<\/span><\/p>\n

Water<\/span><\/h3>\n

I prefer water. buy packaged<\/b> and drink only it. Don't forget that even ice is made of water<\/b>, so if possible, do not add it to any drinks in restaurants. It is better to use bottled water even when teeth cleaning<\/b>. And during showering<\/b> Remember the movie Sex and the City 2, when Charlotte opened her mouth once in the shower at the end of her stay in Mexico and let the water from the shower flow into it. Pharaoh's revenge was not long in coming.<\/span><\/p>\n

Foodstuffs<\/span><\/h3>\n

Food thoroughly heat treat<\/b>. I prefer avoid street vendors<\/b> all kinds of foods. Raw root vegetables and unpeeled fruit are also very risky. Eat only fruit that you can you will rob yourself<\/b> (for example, watermelon or bananas). Unfortunately, washing the fruit is often not enough, even with bottled water.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don't drink either. juices<\/b> from fresh fruit or vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n

These areas can also be risky seafood<\/b>For example, oysters are often bred near the coast, where sewage often flows. This can easily lead to their contamination.<\/span><\/p>\n

When to see a doctor<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"Typical symptoms of "Pharaoh's Revenge" are diarrhea and vomiting. Most people can "cure" this on their own. However, if there is no improvement after a maximum of two days<\/b> or even a deterioration in health occurs, we recommend to see a doctor<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Definitely for the symptoms of classic traveler's diarrhea high fever or blood in the stool is not included<\/b>This can be caused by invasive bacteria and there is a risk that they will enter the bloodstream and cause general poisoning of the body or sepsis. In this case, it is definitely better seek medical attention immediately<\/b> and especially doctors to become familiar with all health problems<\/b>The treatment of this type of disease is ongoing. significantly different<\/b> than treating classic traveler's diarrhea, which in this case could even be dangerous for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prevention<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"Whether you are going on an adventurous trip to a risky country, where you will sleep in hostels and with locals, or a luxurious "roll" by the sea, where you will not leave the hotel complex, do not underestimate prevention and preparation.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to appropriate detoxification, we especially recommend at least 14 days<\/b> before the planned trip use <\/b>probiotics<\/span><\/b><\/span> and prebiotics<\/span><\/b><\/a>It will strengthen the healthy functioning of your intestines and make them more resilient. And you will enjoy your trip.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
