My goodness it sucks, the cramps, the loose stools.

Just got back from Cancun, didn't drink any of the water that wasn't bottled, until I realized all of my Sprite/Coke were filled with ice, I'm sure of Mexico's finest tap.

On the bright side, Atelier Playa Mujeres was a fantastic stay for anyone thinking of going... Just order your drinks with no ice

Rookie mistake.

Everything must be drank from the bottle. Do not even mix with alcohol.

For the furious Mexican diarrhea, the only think I can suggest is Kaopectate, you will shite gravel for 6 dayz, but it will stop the squirts

We went to a place in Central America that was borderline brothel. The mix drinks were cheap and tempting. I drank only beer from the bottle, do not pour in glass was the instructions I gave the bartender. Everyone else was having mixed drinks made with god knows what. At one point it looked like some kind of locally made Cola.

I’m the only one who didn’t get sick.

In the tourist zone of Cancun? I went several times during the 1990s and had no problems.

I've never had problems with ice in foreign countries. I think all ice machines have filters to help them last longer and filter out junk.

The first meal in Thailand last year gave me Bangkok Belly. There was no pain, no rumbling, no warning whatsoever, just a sudden squirt and I shite my pants like I was 3, lol. And I was a mile away from my hotel and a change of clothes . I ducked into a tiny restaurant and cleaned up in the bathroom and nursed a Coca Cola and ate some noodles and waited until my pants were reasonably dry I got the courage and then got back to my hotel as fast as possible. Ugggggh. Worst day ever.

At least he is learning his mistakes in Mexico before he goes to India. The lay Mexican bacteria ain’t got nothing on what they got breeding in the local water.

Just got back from Cancun on Friday. I've been 3 times and this is the only time that I did not get the raging shits. Last time I was either shitting or in bed, or shitting the bed for 2 days. I even drank some iced water at the resort this time.
