is a little drink, very pleasant, that is full of acidophulous and bifidas (good bacteria) which helps promote good digestive health. I dont think it's a preventative as such but helps create an environment in your gut which may be less conducive to nasty bacteria taking hold.Can be bought in most of the little grocery stores in Bali very cheaply. And remember to eat your yoghurt!
You can get this good bacteria in Inner Health tablets (health food shops and chemists) in higher quantities and should start to take them a few weeks before going.Great for your general health anyway imo.
We always take raspberry juice and have had travellers diarrhoea often enough but not BB which is a much more full on experience.
