When food is less preserved without refrigeration and hygine is poor, food borne illness becomes prevelant,
taking immodium without ABO can create more problems with bacteria overgrowth in a slowed gut.
If pepto does not work and immodium is required to stay functional or avoid dehydration,
1st line is Cipro 500mg BID x 3 days, if that fails then Metronidazole 500mg TID x 3 days for severe loose stools.
Thank you for this, I printed it out and put it in my bin of many things for just in case. Very useful and I am very impressed with the wealth of information you gave in the webinar. This will hopefully never be needed but if so it will be a valuable thing to have.

This information is critical for the those who are desiring to be prepared for any emergency as well as one that brings on societal breakdowns.
And what to do when antibiotics aren’t available? That would be helpful too.
