It is always best to seek qualified medical advice if it is not getting better. Unless you happen to be Indian, eat a lot of curry or just have a strong stomach your are likely to suffer from 'Delhi belly' at some time or another during your travels in India, unless you make some effort to prevent it. Causes of the India upset stomach: Spicy and greasy foods, motion sickness.

Combined with travelling, (motion sickness) even just sitting for hours on the plane or on a bus, motion can irritate your stomach lining from the constant vibrations and bung-up your digestion.

If your not accustomed to Indian food (lots of oil, butter, cheese and spices) don't be surprised if your stomach rebels and even gets permanently angry with you. Chronic stomach irritation.

Black and white pepper are irritating to the stomach but is used on supposedly non-spicy food such as veg-fried rice, veg-noodles other Chinese dishes regularly. Indians don't think white pepper is a spice. Bottled condiments are the secret to Indian-Chinese cooking, can be sure nothing natural in there.

What every you do don't eat anymore curry! Very boring I know but stick with it and you will recover.

Causes of the bacteria or virus Delhi Belly: Usually water borne, so after or during the monsoon is more likely. Overall Indian are aware of the problem and take precautions to prevent it for themselves and families too. In the kitchen they will boil a large vat of water and this is used to rinse or wash dishes.

Good restaurants will boil water and rinse the plates and dry them (with a clean cloth) but offer other hazard in dining. Eating mayonnaise is risky because it may be made with raw eggs (salmonella.) People handling your food, notice how some Indians don't believe in washing their hands too often. Non-veg restaurant are more risky, the wise Indian has always ate pure veg - better listen to him this time.

Cooking your own food is the best way. Some guest houses may let you use their kitchen. You could also buy a small cooker and pots.I notice may Koreans and Japanese are less tolerant of Indian food than me, they all cook their own food.

Eat a lot of raw food. This is a simple way, that you don't need to cook it with a stove. You can buy vegetables in the market and wash them yourself with water and iodine solution. Fruit is easy to eat, health and not spicy. With a small knife you can cut your own fruit, is all you need. I suggest you adopt a 'raw food diet' in India: eat more than 50% raw fruits and vegetables. If you have a stomach problem however raw foods may irritate it.

Eat plain meals at least once per day, no spices or grease. Stomach Saver Meal: Steamed Vegetables, Plain Rice, Plain chapatti, Plain dal. This plain meal can be cooked by any Indian restaurant but you will need to do some explaining to get it just right (plain.)

Tourist restaurants will be more sympathetic. You might say something like" no chilly, no pepper, no butter, no clovers, no spices no ghee etc.."

Drink three or more litres of water every day. If you are dehydrated you can add some salt, sugar and lemon this is just like dehydration packets you buy at the chemist. Avoid eating curries too often, avoid fried foods, avoid excess milk, yogourt, butter and other diary products or meat. Fried pakora, samosa etc. is often fried in old grease!

Many people can be lactose intolerant (and not even know it.) You will be amazed at how much dairy can be in one deluxe veg thali with paneer at an upscale north Indian restaurant in New Delhi. One meal!

Avoid eating too much when your travelling. Try not eat at all when your in motion, this is my rule of thumb.

Avoid hard food such as peanuts or other masala fried bits. Acidophilus, these are available at most pharmacies in India, 70 Rs per 10 tabs, I've found is helpful for stomach problems.

Try to eat from the India SUPER Foods, you'll need it.
