Touch wood I have never been ill in Turkey, been ill in Spain once :oops:, we are careful what we eat, although I love seafood I would never eat it in Turkey or any other hot country for that matter, careful with salads and ice cream as well

I find the standard of hygiene to be very good in Turkey, at least if not better than parts of Spain

One more thing the coke think is myth

im not a doctor but if you add a few shots of vodka to the coke, you will still be ill, just you wont really care !!

we take those packets you get for rehydration as in my experience that is the main problem.

The coke thing is not a myth as far as dehydration is concerned - for diarhoea as a lone symptom - no good ! The sugar salt balance in "proper" coke near enough replicates the deydration sachets if the patient is dry. However we find that children (and some adults) will not drink diorylyte so next best thing ..

I should have phrased it better, the myth about it cleaning you out is what I meant to say, I agree that it is good for you when you have stomach upset
sorry for the confusion :oops:

My Grandson was ill a few months ago with a stomach bug and he wouldnt drink the dioralyte, but the Doctor told us to give him flat (full fat) lemonade, he was fine after 24 hours.
