Hi,
The disease is caused either by direct infection due to eating stale foods or by overuse of antibiotics.
I would suggest the following for prevention.
1. Eat home cooked fresh food.
2.Avoid antibiotics as far as possible.
3.Take a course of probiotics to improve your intestinal flora.
4.Plenty of water.
I hope this helps you to build up your intestinal strenght.
