General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I'm afraid your partner has traveler's diarrhea.

I think he should take either Albitrol or Nidazol, not both of them, as they are of the same drug class and are doing the same job.

He is currently taking probiotic Maflor 1.
Should add:
- Tasectan or pepto bismol for diarrhea (ask over the counter)
- BRAT diet (banana + plain rice + apple sauce + toast)
- antacids to stabilize stomach pH (over the counter)
- increase fluids intake especially plain water with oral rehydration salts

Avoid local foods, I think his stomach won't bare them. Continue with BRAT diet, it will help. Give only Greek yogurt, commonly found in turkey. Give him a very hard boiled egg, and a serve with oregano (commonly found in any Turkish store). Ginger tea can also help his tummy problems.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
