Am I now Completely Mad ( longish post)

I lived in India for a while and here is my gratuitous advice for endeavouring to avoid tummy troubles.
1. Please note that the Indian food that is generally served in the UK is noticeably different to the Indian food that is served in India.
2. Do not, under any circumstances, eat the following whilst in India: street food, ice, salads.
3. Only eat freshly cooked, piping hot food, not food that has been lingering around for a while.
4. With regard to drinks, be aware of "bottled" water that may just be tap water that has been decanted into empty plastic bottles and resealed. Accordingly, check the seal on bottled water carefully before imbibling and only prchase such drinks from a reputable source.
5. Trust your judgment when it comes to the cleanliness of eateries. If you have any doubts about the standards of hygiene then move on and do not eat there.
Despite all reasonable precautons you may well fall sick so take medication such as Immodium and Dioralyte with you and also carry loo roll with you.
Enjoy your trip!

There is now a generic form of Immodium available from pharmacies which is cheaper.

Go for it. They have already spent their inheritance, esp. your DS... Enjoy and let us know how it went!

Whatever you do don't cancel. You have doen enough. It is time to think of yourself, go and enjoy your holiday and have a great time.

Yes, I have a card and booklet in several languages, also got insurance that specifically covers gastroparesis which I was surprised at!
Got tickets fro Glasgow to Heathrow and vv
Almost as dear as the trip !!

If you don't spend the money, the council will have it off you if you ever need care. Enjoy it.

I'm not as brave as you. I've only got Nice, Vienna and somewhere else that I can't remember, lined up for the rest of this year. Just tiddly trips in comparison to your big adventure.

Seville! (looked in emails)

Have a lovely trip, Grannyl. I envy your spirit of adventure. ✈️

"Only" ? jbf. Sounds lovely !

Yes. But not very adventurous.

You will feel so pleased with yourself when you get back Grannylyn. It will really give you a boost.

Do it whilst you can or you will always regret not grabbing the opportunity

Go for it girl!

Good for you. I wish I had the nerve to do that.

Your situation sounds similar to mine my son's smoke too much weed I help out if they are in dire need but any thing I say and do is always criticized so much that I've told them if they don't like what I say and do leave me alone I'll survive . Think I'll start s p ending my savings on myself .you have done the right thing as for being insane no way enjoy your holiday .

Thanks again, seen GP today, ? for travels !

Great news, go for it. You will have a wonderful time. I have just booked for Cuba over the winter. We have never gone long haul til this year, there's a lot of world out there to see and having watched the best marigold films have India set in my sights for the future.
We only live once so now is our time. Enjoy.

If you want to go on a 12 day trip to India then do it - why ever would you not?

Not my scene personally - I would need to take a suitcase full of Imodium. There is a joke in our family that I get the squits if I go to Wales! - which is very nearby.

I didn't know I wanted to, just thought 'Why Not' after running after everyone else for 30+ years!!

Do it. Do it. Do it!!!!! Enjoy and have a brilliant time.

Already looking forward to hearing about your travels.
