Probably get them at "ye ol' snake oil shopee" in between the elephant stores and genuine fakes but make sure the seal is intact :rofl :rofl :rofl

being a cynic, wouldn't the answer to getting TD from unhygenic kitchens abroad be to immunise yourself by eating regularly from your own unhygenic kitchen?
Stop Cleaning!

I just read the other day, the Daily Mail Article, mentioned before, had I read it before our Egyptian Holiday the week before Xmas I would have given it a try. I just Googled bimuno because of the article.
My wife had already been told about this, by a friend at work, but me being the cynic, wouldn't take her advice to try it. We went away, she took it daily I didn't.

We are always careful, Drink Bottled water, kept away from salads - ice - etc.
We went to an A/I 5 star hotel, which advertised that it only used treated water on foodstuffs.
The entire holiday we virtually ate the same meals.
I forgot that in Egypt you have to also be careful of banknotes and wash hands after handling them.
(after all - you won't see toilet rolls in any shop for the locals - think about it!)
On the forth day I tipped at lunch halfway through eating a Steak in Baguette - forgot about the banknotes. A few hours later I had stomach cramps, diarrhoea etc.
I kind of managed to control it with immodium, & got home ok.
Still taking Immodium over Xmas as GP was shut, and eventually had to take anti-biotics to cotrol the gut infection I picked up - it was nasty! 2 weeks of being ill.
This happens a lot in Egypt, by the way, but my wife who ate the same, had no problem.
She took bimuno daily, so I must assume she was right and I was wrong, next time I will trial it myself.
So I'm a little red faced and not so cynical now - of course it could just be coincidence, but my wife - she loved it when the Mail article was printed! I am still getting "I told you so" ringing in my ears - my advice - give it a try, this "snake-oil" seems to work. By the way - I work in the Railway industry - not for Bimuno!

Just received the free samples. Got one for me and one for OH. If it seems to work ( I know their's no way of knowing really, if your'e not ill), we will invest in some for next year.
On a nile cruise the guide told us to eat natural yoghurt with honey, for breakfast each day. We were not ill there either, yet many others were.
