(I wont write it) I would like to address the problem though and hear of any recommendations. It is common for not only westerners but Chinese as well. Is it the food, the water, the air? What are the best ways to avoid the numerous trips to the W.C.? What is the best medicine to help it?

Good question and very important for visitors.

In my view, as foreigners we cannot avoid it as we have such 'high' hygene standards...maybe too high so that our bodies don't build up resistance.

You can avoid the apparantly dirty places, wash fruit etc, but that is never enough. So I don't worry too much.

I carry medicine to use when the first symptoms occur. best to buy in advance....without CHinese language skills it's very difficult to explain to a pharmacist that you need to slow the digestive system, not speed it up!!!!

And when you do need too many trips to WC try the west Asian method whenever possible....water not paper... you will feel better for it!
