Understanding Food Poisoning
Contaminated food or drink that carries germs or their toxins causes food poisoning. Vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps usually start within hours to two days and most people get better with fluids and rest.
Common Triggers
The usual causes are Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shigella and harmful E. coli, including ETEC, a common cause of traveller’s diarrhoea, and EHEC, which can cause bloody diarrhoea. Toxins from Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus act within hours, and norovirus and Giardia are also frequent. Undercooked poultry and mince, raw eggs, shellfish, reheated rice, unwashed salads, ice and warm buffet food are typical sources.
What to Know About Food Poisoning in Beldibi
Sunbeds, hotel pools and buffet counters define a stay in Beldibi, and they are also where holiday illnesses usually begin. Nearby you will also find Old Town, Kaleici, Guzeloba. Buffets in the heat are a classic cause on beach holidays.

Care and Treatment for Food Poisoning
A video visit lets the physician ask what you ate and when, who else is ill, and how dehydrated you are. If needed, a stool or blood sample can be arranged at your hotel. Most food poisoning needs fluids, not antibiotics, and antibiotics are typically avoided when EHEC is suspected, so the physician will advise what is suitable. Anti-sickness medicine can be prescribed where suitable, and an IV drip can be arranged at your hotel if you cannot keep fluids down. The e-prescription can be collected at the nearest pharmacy. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest oral rehydration, anti-sickness medicine where appropriate, and antibiotics only when the physician decides they are needed.
- Rest, and avoid alcohol, fatty or spicy food for a day or two
