I lived in India three months and never got sick eating street food in different part of the country, I started the days with fresh coconut juice, drinked a lot of mango lassi and ate rice like idli for breakfast and thick yogurt most of days to go with meals when possible I think that helped, a lot of europeans I met where sick though but I think yogurt and rice helps.

This is great information! Ironically going from America to France and eating with French people actually made me feel better almost instantly probably because of their emphasis on whole foods and not ultra processed things and also their differences in pasteurization
@@panicdispenser6586 Yeah, we have no awareness about it even though we have plenty regarding some other matters. I think it's because of the stubbornness in preserving culture though nobody will admit to it.
Blood type also makes a difference. O types are going to be more susceptible to cholera which is endemic in certain parts of the world, which do not have the best water and sanitation infrastructure (no judgment of those places - I get the impact of colonialism, old and new). Likewise Type A is more susceptible to E. Coli infection. Etc. I would also say, be aware of your own GI health. I for one have chronic IBS, a GI system that I’m sure was injured by zealous antibiotic overprescription by doctors and a heavy duty medication regimen. I would love to try local street food, but I’m just not going to risk spending holiday locked in the loo when I can barely process the pre and probiotics from my home region without GI upset.
interesting thing, now come to think of it, when my family took a trip to Thailand and have a meal there, i bought some juice to drink first then waiting till night time to eat at some places there, almost everyone in the tour group need to take a trip to bathroom but i’m still fine
I was fine sticking to cooked food and boiled water or bottled drnks. Got upset tummy in Thailand at a restaurant, and cholera in Indonesia. Even if the fiod is cooked, utensils, plates, etc may actually be filthy and you can't always tell just by looking at them.
As an Indian who lived abroad most of my life, i agree, even i cant digest indian food sometimes. Especially if the climate is too hot. I survived by drinking yogurt before every meal. Even when i lived there for 10 continuous years, my gut never adjusted to the food.
its not your digestion abilities, its the food hygene standards held by the staff. go around watching what different workers do and its obvious. in uk ive never had food poisoning from street food because a couple of complaints and your license gets revoked lmao
the worst i ever had was from a vendor in madeira, and i remember the stall worker handling cash with the same hands as they handled the food. a week on the toilet 😢
@@Rorschach7012Uk people be eating bland plain same food all day and complain when they get something new tasty and spicy and there digestive system can't handle it. Skill issue
Yeah if you want clean food go to a restaurant sure it will be expensive but still who will not be able to handle the spice, climate etc. And end up having diarrhea
This makes perfect sense. my brother for many years will over 20, it’s been two months of every year in Asia. Asia is a big area. He would eat all the street foods and have no problems. he also ate yogurt regularly. he worked at keeping his immune system high by slowly modifying his… for lack of better words sanitation. By doing so, he would slowly inoculate his body to the bacteria and microbes of the places that he went every year. This does not mean that he was free from getting dewormed when he came home. This was a hazard. Remarkably he seldom actually had worms or picked up something you don’t really want. He based this upon Farm kids. They are usually very healthy yet. They play in the dirt and in the area around their homes, they help their parents on the farm. Yet they are not sickly unless there’s something else going on.
Yoooo... I love to have fruits at breakfast when I go on holiday before going out for the day, that explains why I'm fine but my family sometimes get a poorly belly
No 1 tip for all traveling to other places: always eat in food stalls/eateries/ restaurant where there is a lot of crowd rush. It tells you that its the best in that area. It is a bit of a hassle but you will not be disappointed.
yeah dont go whit name like in India there a lot of restaurant that are well know yet if you go 5 minutes away you will find a restaurant whit the same name some tourist thinking it must be the same go there and get bad experience
All very true, but there's also the issue that many street food vendors in India have extremely low standards of cleanliness and are rarely inspected. Doesn't matter how much probiotic food you injest to acclimatize your gut microbes if you end up contracting amoebic dysentery because some guy didn't wash his hands after taking a crap.
I watched a TH-cam video of a tourist eating off a tray, then filming that Indian street vendor later using one tray to splash gutter water from the street onto his other trays to wash them.
This was my go to strategy whenever eating in Indonesia and India. Line my tummy with yogurt, probiotics and probiotic drinks like Yakult. It has helped many times.
I drank a glass of water in Albania during my visit and spent the rest of the holiday bedridden with explosive diarrhea and equally explosive nausea & had to get an IV on daily basis to basically eat a piece of bread. I don't normally get sick easily but that water was something else
Never drink the tap water in Eastern europe, the tap water is still being filtered through the tens of millions of dead Russian and German soldiers from WW2.
Thank you for providing a logical explanation which applies to any country we go to. It will make hopefully stop people from criticising India’s street food, which is amazing btw.
I Remember when I went to Turkey for the first time I got violent, explosive and nuclear fused diarrohea that kept me more in the bathroom than it did the tourist venues. It was so bad after a few days I had an unfortunate release in the bedsheets which I had to dispose of and explained to hotel staff who could not comprehend the extent of the disaster putting it down to an earthquake like incident. The embarrassment remains with me 15 years on. The local breads were tasty and I thought safe to eat but my gut decided otherwise.
Normally you hear these sorts of stories from less hygienic countries like Pakistan and India, the fact you had it so bad in a country that doesn’t have spicy or dirty food means that you probably had a very weak gut biome
@@KingKhan-xw7vqlol.. what's with this bullshit. Not all places in india are dirty. And not all the street vendors are dirty. Plz stop generalizing. I don't understand this western propaganda regarding indian hygiene.
@@aparnareddy5004its soo hilarious that tourists/"influencers" have BOTH high standard hygienic restaurants AND roadside street vendors as options, but they still always choose to eat/film the vendors and then complain about it.😂😂 u get what u paid for.
@deemah3602 why do anon profiles post the dumbest of questions? Are you in primary school? Food poisoning is what results in vomiting and diarrhoea. What is Imodium used for????
Also helps if the street vendors keeps their stalls and foods clean, you don't hear people getting sick while eating street foods in Japan for a reason.
People get sick from japanese food too tho? The only thing is most japanese Meats apart from chicken are imported if you're not aware. You'd be surprised by the amount of beef that is imported from the US and Australia to Japan not everything is wagyu there so you're being bigoted by implying India is unsanitary. I've gone to my home country multiple times and their dairy doesn't sit well with me as well as their pork. It's literally just different microbes. You can think places are dirty as well as street vendors, but if you saw half the places you eat at in the west you'd genuinely be disgusted including high end restaurants.
@@DeathSensei You are delusional. You just said meat aside from chicken is imported, when Wagyu beef comes from Japan. lol They even breed their own horses and sell that meat, which makes nobody sick. THEY EAT IT RAW. They don't have the need to import anything. India is dirty, that's it. Even in Africa it's not this dirty and they make sure to sterilize and clean everything.
Same to those who live in provincial places where street food are rare and mostly eat fresh vegetables going to the city is hard but a lot of street food I randomly eat barbecue which is very popular I got stomach flu my parents send a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables saying to eat those and avoid street foods but I can't resist the appetizing aroma went again and had some and I did not have anymore stomach problems, fruits and vegetables are quite a wonder
I'm from the UK and live in Germany now. Since living here, it's been hell. The moment I go home, I have no problems. I've even considered moving back as I can't put up with it anymore.
@@Iflie A lot of small towns in Germany have bad water, and some towns have high magnesium salts in the wells causing diarrhea if you drink more than 3 cups a day.
@@nicholasneyhart396 That sounds nasty, I hadn't heard that before. I haven't been to germany very often but where we went we drank the tapwater. But Germany is a very big place.
I have read it somewhere that one mistake that foreigners often make is that Foreigners eat the street food 24/7 when they come to India which is not good for health because even Indians don't eat only street food 24/7 . They need to adapt slowly by eating street food for only once to twice for first few days when they first come to India to avoid food poisoning. Also it would be better if they understand their spice tolerance and eat food accordingly . Stay healthy folks✌
Oh, absolutely! I can eat 'hot spicy' food here in the UK, but quickly learned to ask for it 'mild chilli' in India! It's hard, though - everything is so good (I would crawl across hot coals for a decent pav bhaji)
It really doesn't have much to do with "spices". It's the unsanitary street food. In fact, drinks are one of the more common sources of food poisoning.
@@Haruhi5488 Oh, definitely. Especially in different countries, as you are even more susceptible to the strains of virus/bacteria you haven't encountered before, so your body is not as effective at protecting you.
I did not know this. I am a guy who likes his food. So knowing this is very helpful. Even though I will never afford the traveling expenses to go to another country this is still helpful information.
I appreciate this so much as I was raised with the warningslof Montezuma's revenge...😮 lol Everyoneo needs to understand that as they go from one locale to another that the locality effects their"germ culture"Even from one city to the next in the same state
Thank you for your video! My own personal rule when trying local food while traveling is HEATED food only at first. (After unfortunately getting food poisoning more than once.) And yes probiotics! My experience is that food off a grill or out of a hot pot will have little to no active bacteria because the act of cooking will kill it. Skip all cold condiments and sides until you've adjusted to the new area. I LOVE trying other cultures food! And I'll try almost anything at least once. Without being willing to try something new you don't know what wonderful flavors you're missing out on. But despite my adventurous palate, I've rarely gotten food poisoning since my hot food rule. Live, learn, and enjoy! : ) I hope others find this helpful. : )
Naa it's just westerners have weak stomachs. I live in Europe but my parents often bring back food from our home country and I think this maintains my gut bacteria because I travel a lot and really eat whatever I want and never get sick from it. My European friends is a completely different story. We traveled to East Europe and I was the only person in a party of 6 that came put of that trip with my poop not liquefied
Sorry but the number 1 reason for upset tummy is. 1. Dirty water. Salad, ice cubes. Fresh fruit etc washed with that water. You cannot convince me of anything else.
Was about to say, that's a lot of big scientific words to say "they don't wash their hands while making your food." How come you're less likely to get sick at a restaurant than from street food?
I think the issue is that they touch the food so much and do not have handwashing facilities. Or good bathroom ones. If you can get sick from that in your own country you can most certainly in another country.
I've seen videos of them making food on surfaces they place their bare feet on. One vid was a dude holding a blade between his toes as he cut meat with it. It depends on the place and people of course, but lets just say that India doesn't have the best reputation for street food for a reason.
@@justinmcgough3958well foreign visit the slums to explore so it's not shocking that they feel sick after eating there. India is very diverse,South is totally different from the North, while North east is totally different, Begalis,kashmir, the ladhak etc. Every state is totally different. But most people visit the Delhi where there are lot of illegel immigrants and they go to the slums.
@@questions_answered From what I've seen even in restaurants the cooks touch the food all the time, but at least they have hand washing facilities if they want to use them. That has nothing to do with slums and everything with what they think is good food handling.
@@Iflie well its depends on the culture, the west mostly uses very standard measurements,while in Asian countries they mostly use eyes and hands for measurements. Also in homes also they cook with hands
The few videos that you've been doing for the foods that I can eat instead of taking supplements, have really helped me. I don't like taking pills, and the supplements that my doctor has given me for the past couple of months have actually made me worse instead of getting better. But after I started eating some of the foods that you've been talking about in these videos, I have gradually stopped my supplements. And have felt a lot better since I've stopped them, and started eating the foods that you have been talking about. Thank you for the information and help.
I don't eat meat when I travel. Spent 10 days in El Salvador, lived off of bean and cheese pupusas, fried yucca and plantains and was the ONLY one from my party that didn't get sick at least once. Spent two months in Ecuador... the cheese there was weird so I was mostly vegan and never got sick!

@@panicdispenser6586 Street food... Idk the location. That's why I'm asking
@@panicdispenser6586 Yeah, we have no awareness about it even though we have plenty regarding some other matters. I think it's because of the stubbornness in preserving culture though nobody will admit to it.
Blood type also makes a difference. O types are going to be more susceptible to cholera which is endemic in certain parts of the world, which do not have the best water and sanitation infrastructure (no judgment of those places - I get the impact of colonialism, old and new). Likewise Type A is more susceptible to E. Coli infection. Etc.
I would also say, be aware of your own GI health. I for one have chronic IBS, a GI system that I’m sure was injured by zealous antibiotic overprescription by doctors and a heavy duty medication regimen. I would love to try local street food, but I’m just not going to risk spending holiday locked in the loo when I can barely process the pre and probiotics from my home region without GI upset.
Thank you for giving us a strategy to deal with this issue. Great work on this!
interesting thing, now come to think of it, when my family took a trip to Thailand and have a meal there, i bought some juice to drink first then waiting till night time to eat at some places there, almost everyone in the tour group need to take a trip to bathroom but i’m still fine
This is very sensible advice. Fermented foods; fresh, washed produce; moderation at first....
Thanks, makes sense and didnt know about trying the yogurt and fruits thing.
I was fine sticking to cooked food and boiled water or bottled drnks. Got upset tummy in Thailand at a restaurant, and cholera in Indonesia. Even if the fiod is cooked, utensils, plates, etc may actually be filthy and you can't always tell just by looking at them.
cholera is wild
As an Indian who lived abroad most of my life, i agree, even i cant digest indian food sometimes. Especially if the climate is too hot. I survived by drinking yogurt before every meal. Even when i lived there for 10 continuous years, my gut never adjusted to the food.
its not your digestion abilities, its the food hygene standards held by the staff. go around watching what different workers do and its obvious. in uk ive never had food poisoning from street food because a couple of complaints and your license gets revoked lmao
the worst i ever had was from a vendor in madeira, and i remember the stall worker handling cash with the same hands as they handled the food. a week on the toilet 😢
@@OsirusHandle Uk food is made for the people who can't handle the original recipe, i been in UK and i can say that is not the real recipe

Most importantly you should make sure that they have decent sanitation and food preparation methods.
Yeah if you want clean food go to a restaurant sure it will be expensive but still who will not be able to handle the spice, climate etc. And end up having diarrhea
That’s a good idea Doc, will follow for sure. ❤
This makes perfect sense. my brother for many years will over 20, it’s been two months of every year in Asia. Asia is a big area. He would eat all the street foods and have no problems. he also ate yogurt regularly. he worked at keeping his immune system high by slowly modifying his… for lack of better words sanitation. By doing so, he would slowly inoculate his body to the bacteria and microbes of the places that he went every year. This does not mean that he was free from getting dewormed when he came home. This was a hazard. Remarkably he seldom actually had worms or picked up something you don’t really want. He based this upon Farm kids. They are usually very healthy yet. They play in the dirt and in the area around their homes, they help their parents on the farm. Yet they are not sickly unless there’s something else going on.
I live by two rules. Street vendors dont have sinks, and gutter oil is a thing.

It's basically overly recycled/reused cooking oil that would normally be considered unfit for consumption by any health agency.

No 1 tip for all traveling to other places: always eat in food stalls/eateries/ restaurant where there is a lot of crowd rush. It tells you that its the best in that area. It is a bit of a hassle but you will not be disappointed.
yeah dont go whit name like in India there a lot of restaurant that are well know yet if you go 5 minutes away you will find a restaurant whit the same name some tourist thinking it must be the same go there and get bad experience
Wow, that’s brilliant! Thank you.
Such useful and wise piece of information to know! Thank you, keep this kind of format up please ;)
All very true, but there's also the issue that many street food vendors in India have extremely low standards of cleanliness and are rarely inspected. Doesn't matter how much probiotic food you injest to acclimatize your gut microbes if you end up contracting amoebic dysentery because some guy didn't wash his hands after taking a crap.
Same in most other parts of the world. Use common sense and avoid those vendors.
@ekamsat429 some other parts of the world are not as notorious in bad hygiene as india
I watched a TH-cam video of a tourist eating off a tray, then filming that Indian street vendor later using one tray to splash gutter water from the street onto his other trays to wash them.

I drank a glass of water in Albania during my visit and spent the rest of the holiday bedridden with explosive diarrhea and equally explosive nausea & had to get an IV on daily basis to basically eat a piece of bread. I don't normally get sick easily but that water was something else
Your survival instincts were on holidays as well? 🤭
I had the same experience in Ukraine. I always have diarrhea tablets in my luggage on every trip abroad since.
Never drink the tap water in Eastern europe, the tap water is still being filtered through the tens of millions of dead Russian and German soldiers from WW2.
Bottled water only when traveling and never add ice to any drinks. I didn’t trust any food that wasn’t from a hotel or the mall in Thailand.

Thank you for providing a logical explanation which applies to any country we go to. It will make hopefully stop people from criticising India’s street food, which is amazing btw.

Helpful video, compensated for the audio, but I don’t think it could have been better in the circumstances
I Remember when I went to Turkey for the first time I got violent, explosive and nuclear fused diarrohea that kept me more in the bathroom than it did the tourist venues. It was so bad after a few days I had an unfortunate release in the bedsheets which I had to dispose of and explained to hotel staff who could not comprehend the extent of the disaster putting it down to an earthquake like incident. The embarrassment remains with me 15 years on. The local breads were tasty and I thought safe to eat but my gut decided otherwise.
💀
Normally you hear these sorts of stories from less hygienic countries like Pakistan and India, the fact you had it so bad in a country that doesn’t have spicy or dirty food means that you probably had a very weak gut biome

Also helps if the street vendors keeps their stalls and foods clean, you don't hear people getting sick while eating street foods in Japan for a reason.
People get sick from japanese food too tho? The only thing is most japanese Meats apart from chicken are imported if you're not aware. You'd be surprised by the amount of beef that is imported from the US and Australia to Japan not everything is wagyu there so you're being bigoted by implying India is unsanitary. I've gone to my home country multiple times and their dairy doesn't sit well with me as well as their pork. It's literally just different microbes. You can think places are dirty as well as street vendors, but if you saw half the places you eat at in the west you'd genuinely be disgusted including high end restaurants.

India is dirty, that's it. Even in Africa it's not this dirty and they make sure to sterilize and clean everything.
Same to those who live in provincial places where street food are rare and mostly eat fresh vegetables going to the city is hard but a lot of street food I randomly eat barbecue which is very popular I got stomach flu my parents send a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables saying to eat those and avoid street foods but I can't resist the appetizing aroma went again and had some and I did not have anymore stomach problems, fruits and vegetables are quite a wonder
Wow, great knowledge and eating the veggies and yogurt, will slow down my street food binge.
Yeah bro its not that they literally wipe their asses with their hands and make the food with flies festering all over it bro.

That's the first time I heard that. Are you staying in the same place in germany, maybe they have dodgy water or something.
@@Iflie A lot of small towns in Germany have bad water, and some towns have high magnesium salts in the wells causing diarrhea if you drink more than 3 cups a day.

I've never thought of that. This is information that will be usefull in the future. Thanks sir!
Yeah, I think it’s more of the lack of health standards and dirty water.
I have read it somewhere that one mistake that foreigners often make is that Foreigners eat the street food 24/7 when they come to India which is not good for health because even Indians don't eat only street food 24/7 . They need to adapt slowly by eating street food for only once to twice for first few days when they first come to India to avoid food poisoning. Also it would be better if they understand their spice tolerance and eat food accordingly . Stay healthy folks✌
Oh, absolutely! I can eat 'hot spicy' food here in the UK, but quickly learned to ask for it 'mild chilli' in India!
It's hard, though - everything is so good (I would crawl across hot coals for a decent pav bhaji)
It really doesn't have much to do with "spices". It's the unsanitary street food. In fact, drinks are one of the more common sources of food poisoning.
@@john_titor1 Can't deny that but my main point is that one should not eat street food 24/7 when they are travelling anywhere
@@Haruhi5488 Oh, definitely. Especially in different countries, as you are even more susceptible to the strains of virus/bacteria you haven't encountered before, so your body is not as effective at protecting you.

Bro i got lost in the desert and dr karan still tracked me down to talk about my gut microbiome
Thank you for your video! My own personal rule when trying local food while traveling is HEATED food only at first. (After unfortunately getting food poisoning more than once.) And yes probiotics! My experience is that food off a grill or out of a hot pot will have little to no active bacteria because the act of cooking will kill it. Skip all cold condiments and sides until you've adjusted to the new area. I LOVE trying other cultures food! And I'll try almost anything at least once. Without being willing to try something new you don't know what wonderful flavors you're missing out on. But despite my adventurous palate, I've rarely gotten food poisoning since my hot food rule. Live, learn, and enjoy! : ) I hope others find this helpful. : )
That is the. Cleanest stand ive seen. Great video
“Some loose stools”, yeah that’s a nice way of putting it.
The lack of easily accessible hand washing could also be a factor
That's funny, your people are not known for being healthy.
Naa it's just westerners have weak stomachs. I live in Europe but my parents often bring back food from our home country and I think this maintains my gut bacteria because I travel a lot and really eat whatever I want and never get sick from it. My European friends is a completely different story. We traveled to East Europe and I was the only person in a party of 6 that came put of that trip with my poop not liquefied
Sorry but the number 1 reason for upset tummy is.
1. Dirty water. Salad, ice cubes. Fresh fruit etc washed with that water.
You cannot convince me of anything else.
Was about to say, that's a lot of big scientific words to say "they don't wash their hands while making your food." How come you're less likely to get sick at a restaurant than from street food?
That's why I like you. You always give good advice.
I always thought something like this might work, huh! Awesome!
I think the issue is that they touch the food so much and do not have handwashing facilities. Or good bathroom ones. If you can get sick from that in your own country you can most certainly in another country.
I've seen videos of them making food on surfaces they place their bare feet on. One vid was a dude holding a blade between his toes as he cut meat with it. It depends on the place and people of course, but lets just say that India doesn't have the best reputation for street food for a reason.
@@justinmcgough3958well foreign visit the slums to explore so it's not shocking that they feel sick after eating there.
India is very diverse,South is totally different from the North, while North east is totally different, Begalis,kashmir, the ladhak etc.
Every state is totally different.
But most people visit the Delhi where there are lot of illegel immigrants and they go to the slums.
@@justinmcgough3958in India you pay for everything. If you want to have good quality food then just don't be poor and go to a restaurant
@@questions_answered From what I've seen even in restaurants the cooks touch the food all the time, but at least they have hand washing facilities if they want to use them.
That has nothing to do with slums and everything with what they think is good food handling.
@@Iflie well its depends on the culture, the west mostly uses very standard measurements,while in Asian countries they mostly use eyes and hands for measurements.
Also in homes also they cook with hands
The few videos that you've been doing for the foods that I can eat instead of taking supplements, have really helped me. I don't like taking pills, and the supplements that my doctor has given me for the past couple of months have actually made me worse instead of getting better. But after I started eating some of the foods that you've been talking about in these videos, I have gradually stopped my supplements. And have felt a lot better since I've stopped them, and started eating the foods that you have been talking about. Thank you for the information and help.
I don't eat meat when I travel. Spent 10 days in El Salvador, lived off of bean and cheese pupusas, fried yucca and plantains and was the ONLY one from my party that didn't get sick at least once. Spent two months in Ecuador... the cheese there was weird so I was mostly vegan and never got sick!
