Description
Traveller's diarrhea (also known as 'Bali Belly') is a common, but needless to say quite unpleasant illness to experience!
Nutritionist Melissa Cook looked into the topic in detail as a result of experiencing an episode of Bali Belly after a trip overseas. In this episode she covers some interesting and useful information, including:
- Common causes of Bali Belly
- What actually happens in your gut (other than the obvious!)
when you are exposed to the infection
- Why it can take weeks, or even months, to fully recover from
an episode
- Tips to minimise your risk of contracting Bali Belly if you are heading overseas
- What to do if you do happen to be struck down during/after
your travels
- Why food intolerances and irritable bowel (IBS) symptoms may
rear their head following a dose of Bali Belly – and how this links to your overall state of gut health
