Stomach bugs can quickly turn a dream vacation into days spent in a hotel room<\/a>, but doctors say packing a few key essentials can help keep your summer or fall trip on track.<\/p>\n

Gastrointestinal illnesses caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites commonly trigger nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).<\/p>\n

The agency says travelers’ diarrhea, usually caused by bacteria, is the most common travel-related illness.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

It affects an estimated 30% to 70% of travelers during a two-week trip, depending on the destination and season.<\/p>\n

While not every stomach bug can be prevented, doctors say packing a few essentials before you leave can help manage symptoms, prevent dehydration and make it easier to know when it’s time to seek medical care.<\/p>\n

Before your next trip, the CDC recommends packing the following items:<\/p>\n

If illness does strike, staying hydrated should be the top priority.<\/p>\n

Most people recover from common stomach bugs within one to three days without treatment, though dehydration can become serious enough to require medical attention<\/a>, Chad D. Neilsen, director of Infection Prevention and Control at Nemours Children’s Health in Florida, previously told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Doctors say smart food choices can also help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal illness while traveling.<\/p>\n

Bethany Doerfler, a senior clinical research dietitian at the Digestive Health Institute of Northwestern Medicine, recommends thoroughly cooking higher-risk vegetables, such as leafy greens and fresh herbs<\/a>, to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal illness, including parasitic infections such as Cyclospora.<\/p>\n

“Heating to temperatures over 160 degrees [Fahrenheit] will kill the parasite,” Doerfler told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

She also recommends choosing fruits and vegetables with thick skins that can be washed and peeled, such as bananas, avocados and melons, instead of avoiding fresh produce altogether.<\/p>\n

Careful food and beverage choices can help lower the risk of gastrointestinal illness, the CDC says, although the choices cannot eliminate it completely because restaurant hygiene<\/a> and local sanitation are often beyond a traveler’s control.<\/p>\n

Travelers should seek medical care if diarrhea persists or worsens, particularly if it is accompanied by a fever, bloody stools or signs of dehydration.<\/p>\n
