Dietary choices may affect one’s risk of experiencing traveler’s diarrhea. High-risk foods include unpeeled raw fruits and vegetables, unpasteurized dairy, undercooked meat and seafood, foods served at room temperature, buffet-style food, and food from street vendors.[1]
Beverage choices also present an avoidable risk. High-risk beverages include tap water, fountain drinks, beer on tap, and drinks containing ice.[1] However, a review of 7 studies was unable to find a correlation between adherence to advised dietary precautions and reduced risk of traveler’s diarrhea.[2]
