To keep Delhi Belly at bay avoid touching your face or anything that's going in your mouth until you've cleaned your hands. Soap and water is best, because it removes dirt, but wet wipes are great when a sink isn't available. Follow up with hand sanitiser and you'll be fine.

While there is no 100% guarantee, it is highly possible to avoid "Delhi belly" (traveler's diarrhea) by following strict hygiene and consumption rules. The "Golden Rule" is to never drink tap water; stick exclusively to sealed bottled water, even for brushing your teeth. Avoid ice in drinks, as it is often made from local tap water. When it comes to food, follow the "boil it, cook it, peel it, or forget it" mantra. Opt for piping hot, freshly cooked meals from busy stalls or reputable restaurants where turnover is high, as heat kills most harmful bacteria. Avoid raw salads and pre-cut fruit, which may have been washed in local water; instead, choose fruits you can peel yourself, like bananas or oranges. Washing your hands frequently with soap or using a high-alcohol hand sanitizer before every meal is essential. Many travelers also swear by starting a course of probiotics a few weeks before their trip to strengthen their gut flora. If you do start to feel unwell, staying hydrated with oral rehydration salts and having over-the-counter medicine like Imodium on hand can help manage the symptoms quickly.
