Even if you don't drink the PV water, new germs are introduced into the stomach of which the natural probiotics needed for these new germs might not be in good supply as one's body produces what it needs based on where one lives and what one is used to.
Acidophilus is readily available in tablet form and chewables and it is recommended that one begin taking a daily or per meal dose 4 to 6 weeks before traveling to minimize possible stomach problems. We use the tablet form prior to our trip which usually requires refrigeration and then we take the chewables with us so that we can eat them before each meal.
Of course this won't help the stomach with over indulgence; that's what papaya extract (or fresh) is for OR, heaven forbid, staying away from whatever the culprit is BUT it is vacation after all.
