I have been buying this stuff for every international trip I’ve taken for years and I’ve used it a handful of times when I started feeling “iffy” (stomach or intestinal upset) during the trip.
The two worst times that I for sure got traveler’s diarrhea (or Montezuma’s Revenge, Bali Belly, Thai Tummy, etc.) was 1) when I was about to board a 16 hr flight home from Thailand and 2) last night returning from Mexico.
In both situations, diaresq has helped nip the illness in the bud. And I’m finally writing this review because last night was the worst! About 7 hours after getting home (around midnight), I had to run to the bathroom and… it was severe. The cramps, the nausea as well. This felt super bad and like it was going to escalate for the entire night and next day, but I took diaresq right after that bathroom visit and from that point forward my symptoms started to get better, not worse like I fully expected. I was able to sleep through the night without throwing up, still had stomach cramping every now and then, so at 5 AM I took a second dose of diaresq. Now by the time I’ve woken (slept in till noon), I don’t have the nausea at all anymore, and the stomach cramping is almost all gone. TMI, but my stool is also finally more solid than water. If, god forbid, I were still in the middle of my trip, I might need to know where a bathroom is just in case for one more visit, but I’d say I’m pretty much over it by now (12 hrs from start to finish)!!
Listen, for all the reviews that say this didn’t help in X Y or Z scenario, they probably weren’t using it for the proper ailment. The label states it does not work for overeating, and I believe it doesn’t work for eating foods you’re intolerant to nor for issues like norovirus (viral stomach flu… but maybe it does idk). What this DOES work for is traveler’s diarrhea— the product helps neutralize invading BACTERIA. Many anti-diarrheal products stop your body’s natural function to flush out the invading bacteria, but this is not what diaresq does— diaresq actually helps neutralize the bacteria FASTER. So it’s literally better for you and ends the sickness sooner.
I recommend this product to everyone when they travel and I don’t go on a trip without it. Thank god I bought it in time for this last trip!!!
