One of the worst things to be, IMO, is nauseous. Having Crohn's, you never know what is going to cause it next. Keep this in my purse in case all the time just in case something makes me feel nauseous.

Pepto Ultra is my go-to for anything to do with an upset stomach or indigestion. I always take the pills with me on vacation but usually do the liquid version at home. I can't tell a difference between the 2.

Staying healthy keeps me from having gut issues. Took one of these daily. I don't know if they helped but everyone else caught a cold BUT me. If you have an autoimmune like I do, you know it's rare not to catch something viral when people around you ...

Bought this for the plane because I always get a weird cough in the dry plane air. Was thankful to have it all over SE Asia. Everyone around us had respiratory issues going on except me. Staying healthy keeps me from having gut issues.

Heeps you hydrated on the go but espeially when it's really hot & humid. Jamaica/Hibiscus flavor is my fav. It tastes just like juice to me. I also love the horchata in a coconut water with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Thank me later! Ha!

As our guide said, no all toilets here will be a 5-star experience. Plan wisely!

Necessity for SE Asia because you'll find that not all places have tissue and you'll be thankful to have them (especially if you start having gastro issues). Love that these are unscented.

I found that a lot of places had something that looked more like body wash in their restrooms. I used these to have something antibacterial. Next time I will also buy some single use hand soaps.
