any advice about how to stop a gippy tum, going in July and with the heat it is bound to happen, also any good remedies if we do end up with it local or to take from England.

Try the anti bacterial tablets, they are good, but just try to stay away from foods sold on street, and buffet food which has been out for a while, but if you have been here before and suffered, usually the next time you come you dont really have it.

I was in Egyt about 45 days ago. No problems with the local food or water. Ate everything I wanted at street vendors, restaraunts, etc.

But the best food was the food my husband cooked. And his mother and sisters, of course.

God I love the food. It was a wonderful change from what I'm used to eating.

Any pharmacy has Streptoquin. They only cost about 9 LE for a packet. The good thing is you don't get the awful gripping pain with them and they work really fast.

Like sem says, Streptoquin... also Antinal....both are gut antibacterials... so you don't get the clogging afterwards that you get with the English stuff!!!

Another one we got from the local Pharmacies in Luxor is "Entocid".
Stopped Tut's Trots very well. So much so that any unused packets we had we would pass on to any of our friends going to Egypt too as the English stuff you buy just doesn't work out there.
