General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

You are experiencing traveler's diarrhea, which is quite often if traveling to Mexico.

I think you should take:
- antacids to stabilize stomach pH
- probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora
- increase plain water intake with oral rehydration salts
- follow BRAT diet (banana, rice, apple sauce, toast)
- take Tasectan or Pepto Bismol for diarrhea.

Until symptoms improve. If not improving, should see your caring doctor as might need prescription meds.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
