Hi..

Thanks for contacting us for health query.
You are out on travel and has diarrhoea now..

Don't worry although you are a gastritis patient right now you have an infection.

Don't be panic .Help yourself with plenty of fluids which includes fresh fruit juices with no added sugar,tender coconut water.You can include natural probiotic like yogurt.

In case diarrhoea not getting controlled contact a near by doctor and follow the medicines he suggest which will be antibiotic,probitic and anti ulcer medicine.

At this point do not take antacids because that can increase the stool frequency

Hope our suggestion helps.

Take care.
