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. regards
