A small suggestion...why don't you go to some good 5 star hotel,? there you'll find hygienic stuff and water comparable to western European standards, if you stay in shitty area and consume local food prepared unhygienically you will get 😷sick. Anyways get well soon😊..!

Thxx and yea you probably right, but I always think there are better ways to spend the money

[@milan25v]

@@RobbieV Good quality hotels in India are way cheaper than in Europe. Staying healthy and safe is the best way to spend the money.

[@sawyer8765]

ask for pudina hara at the pharmacy - it'll help you a lot!

[@RobbieV]

Will do, thx!

Esa manzana y esa bebida que te diste en la calle np fue buena idea. ¡Medidas extremas con la comida!!

[@RobbieV]

Probablemente tienes razon. Estoy demasiado acostumbrado comprar comida en las calles de Latino America... 🙈

Robbie, you have to see it from the positive side. You made a crash diet ... 😬

[@RobbieV]

I was thinking about it! Some people go to expensive ayahuasca retreats! 😂

[@azamzaki]

you took a big risk , drinking packed juice in india. please buy the imported one. you don't know how they were manufactured .

[@matgranger5061]

It's not only about water which is a complete misconception. It's about the amount of spices in the food. In India, we use a lot of spices in a single dish. In Europe, you mostly use salt and pepper. If you are not used to it, the extra spices will knockout your stomach. Indian food is not for Europeans sorry 😅 When I eat European food, I feel it is very bland.

[@NirvashDS]

Its about hygiene, not spices. Don’t deny it. Thats something dangerous for foreign stomach. Diarrhea makes you dehydrated, vomiting worsen it. This guys in India really need to take care of that i know it is a big nation, but when you need to clean your knife and fork with alcohol it tells everything.

[@JasperB12]

it's bacteria from poor hygiene standards

[@matgranger5061]

@@JasperB12 It's not always the case!! It is the change in spicy level which can also cause food poisoning. The hot weather can also contribute to this. Also, the microbiota is different for people in different regions of the world which can take sometime to adjust.

[@JasperB12]

@@matgranger5061the water in indoa is generally unsafe to consume without further purification. Without clean water it's prohibitively difficult to maintain kitchen hygiene. You are in denial, but the cause of sickness in almost all cases is bacterial infection. You know the hygiene standards are poor and unacceptable, why even try to defend them? No one blames India or individual Indians for the lack of hygiene but it's the reality of the situation.

[@matgranger5061]

@@JasperB12 "The water in India is generally unsafe to consume" This is a very general statement. India is the 7th largest country on Earth. Water in the North East region, Himalayan region, South of India is generally safe to consume. The hygiene standards are poor only for street food. There are high end street food shops in India where hygiene is good. Food in restaurants, hotels, bars and food cooked at home has same level of standard than anywhere else in the world. Also, after cooking the food at 100 deg. C all the germs die. A person from my company went to Singapore for some projects and he got food poisoning there. It's more about the microbiota which one is adapted to!!
