I went to Turkey for 10 days and i had diarrhea the whole time (tmi). Went to a pharmacy (they spoke very little English), tried to explain that i had an upset stomach and needed something. Well cut a long story short they gave me a laxative.

Spent most the next 2 days drained, dehydrated and an even worse stomach. Mix that in with the extreme heat out there and it's not a good combination.

Just take some immodium tablets with you for diarrhoea, dioralyte rehydration sachets to rebalance your minerals and you can use these if you do get the runs.

I am sure you will be fine xx
