3 Proven Strategies to Prevent Traveler's Diarrhea and Stay Healthy Abroad

International travel often sparks concerns about food poisoning or traveler's illness. While bottled water offers some protection, comprehensive precautions are essential. Up to 70% of travelers face digestive issues like diarrhea, fever, and vomiting from contaminated food and water.

We're partnering with Travelan—a dietary supplement formulated for travelers—to share expert tips for avoiding these issues, commonly known as Montezuma's revenge, during your trips abroad.

1. Prioritize Hygiene to Limit Germ Exposure

Adopt rigorous hygiene practices while traveling. Use antibacterial wipes to clean airplane seats, tray tables, and bathrooms. Reapply hand sanitizer frequently, wash hands thoroughly, and avoid sharing lip balm, utensils, or beverages, even with travel companions.

2. Avoid Food and Water Contamination Risks

Your stomach, adapted to home foods, is vulnerable abroad. Steer clear of tap water by skipping ice, using boiled or bottled water for brushing teeth, and washing produce. High-risk foods include:

• Raw or peeled fruits and vegetables
• Leafy greens like spinach and lettuce
• Raw, rare, or undercooked meats
• Raw or undercooked seafood and shellfish
• Unpasteurized dairy, including milk
• Street vendor foods
• Cooled hot foods
• Food buffets

Opt for piping-hot, freshly cooked meals. To enjoy local cuisine safely, take Travelan before every meal (more often if snacking). Nine out of 10 users report it effective for digestive health, with many reducing symptom severity even after onset.

Travelan is an over-the-counter, gluten-free supplement rich in antibodies to support digestive health while traveling. It's non-antibiotic and available in easy-to-digest caplets.

Many travelers have stories of vacations ruined by contamination in places like Mexico, Nepal, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia—from tap water in toothbrushing to uncooked veggies or blended drinks. Taking Travelan before and during your trip provides proactive protection.

3. Strengthen Your Immune System

Build defenses before departure with ample sleep, probiotic-rich foods like yogurt and pickles, and targeted supplements. Travelan boosts antibodies against E. coli and other common causes of traveler's diarrhea. Clinical trials in Europe and the USA demonstrated up to 90% protection against prevalent E. coli strains.

Prepare for your next adventure with a 3-day supply of Travelan for bacterial protection and peace of mind.
