The following is to attempt to prevent the gastrointestinal backlash that we might experience while traveling and exposing ourselves to new and exciting microbes.

Take heed of local precautions such as “Don’t drink the water.” Easier said than done, but stick with the basics.

- Only drink from sealed containers; remember juice at a restaurant may be diluted
- Avoid ice cubes
- Avoid raw vegetables that may have been washed or soaked in unclean water

Items to take: If you take vitamins, take the minimum you think you will need. Many times just your multiple will do. If your travels bring you to a place that is notorious for digestive experiences, I recommend the following treatment:

Supplemental Protocol

Beginning 3 days before arrival:
Take a probiotic/acidophilus combination
• ENTRIN ACIDOPHILUS [Code ENTRI]: 2 capsules, 2 times per day before and after sleep.

During the trip use:
• Para-Gard [Code PAR12 = 60 caps; PAR13 = 120 caps]: Take 1 capsule with each meal
• ENTRIN ACIDOPHILLUS [Code ENTRI]: 1 capsule with each meal.

If a problem should arise you can double both the above recommended doses.
