NEVER AGAIN !!
ibiza was the worst ever for me!!
but on the subject of what can cause it .... ice cold water should be avoided .... this can create a lot of problems and you will find the locals never drink ice cold drinks,

Never ever had it on my Holls & don't want it, could be I am immune to it after 2 years in the middle east or have a cast iron stomach or more likely have been very lucky 
hope I don't regret saying this

"Totally irrelevant - I get Dehli Belly if I go to London for a weekend."
What you get Gastritus or Campylobactor in London? Because DB is often dismissed as a dose of the s***ts which is one thing but getting the full eruption and rapid dehydration is another.
The reason I was asking about the N/S Goa scenario is beacause of the well known fact that the top end of Baga is where most of the 'bugs' are. This area has been tested in the past and so has Coco beach. They are both problematic areas where rivers join the sea, both areas where there is known sewage dumping!
Never had DB in the South or Candolim.

Well said Neil

I stay in Sinquerim every year (south of Candolim) and I usually have a day or two of sh*** dehydration and sickness every year.
The point I was trying to make is - that there are people who are more susceptible to tummy problems than others.
My wife can go to the toilet maybe 2 or 3 times in 4 weeks.
Also getting tests for Campylobacter as well.
Yes 'Delhi Belly' covers everything from the serious to not so serious stomach upset.
It's like when Indian people say that one of their family has 'sickness'! The problem is that because India is such a filthy place their are so many bugs that you never hear of over here.

Gemma never heard of these tablets, have you taken them before and do they work? 
Yes Datsun they are fab and no dicky tummies for the whole two weeks
Holland and Barrett have a 70% off sale just now. Ive ordered mine online and they were only £3.28 for 100. You take two a day, starting a month before you go and 2 a day for the duration of your holiday. They really work and are worth the money.
Another HTer recommended them to me last season. They are a mild probiotic and put good bacteria back into your system. You should try them, you will be pleasanly surprised!

I'll give them a go as I always get some sort of stomach upset when in Goa.
Arrive on Dec 18th so will start on Nov 18th and 100 should do it, lovely.

Great advice on this thread. I've just ordered some acidophilus tablets but we leave in 2 weeks, do you think thats enough time for them to be effective?
If you have a Holland and Barrett close to you get them ASP
they really are worth taking ,started ours last week we leave
on the 10th nov,you have to keep them in a fridge once opened,
most hotels in Goa have fridges.

Raving Pixie yes you will still benefit even just taking them a couple of weeks before you go. I usually take one in the morning at breakfast and one just before my evening meal.
Didnt have a single upset stomach in February or April, so as I said to Datsun they are well worth the money (even without then 70% discount!)

Been taking mine a few weeks now Gemma - worked for me last time.
I've been over 10 times and had delhi belly once. It doesn't compare in the slightest to an upset stomach ! I can honestly say I have never felt as ill as I was then. Lasted 12 hours in total and the doctor came out because I'm diabetic. Never had it since and wouldn't wish it on anyone. I still feel lightheaded just thinking about it.

Eating yogurt or drinking Lassi can be just as effective, and definitely more enjoyable.
Maintenance of a healthy gut flora is, dependent on many factors, especially the quality of food intake.
Including a significant proportion of prebiotic foods in the diet has been demonstrated to support a healthy gut flora and may be another means of achieving the desirable health benefits promised by probiotic tablets.
Prebiotics are yogurt, lassi etc.
