Traveler's diarrhea
Hey there kiddo! Have you ever heard of something called traveler's diarrhea? It's when people get a stomachache and have to go potty a lot when they visit a new place, especially different countries.
You see, our bodies have special things called "good bacteria" in our intestines that help us digest our food and keep us healthy. But when we travel to new places, we might eat foods or drink water that have different kinds of bacteria that our bodies aren't used to. This can upset our tummies and give us diarrhea (which means we poop more than usual and it's runnier).
To try and avoid traveler's diarrhea, we can be careful about what we eat and drink when we travel. That means washing our hands often, drinking bottled water instead of tap water, avoiding raw fruits and vegetables, and being careful about where we eat. And if we do get sick with traveler's diarrhea, we can rest, drink lots of water, and take medicine to help us feel better.
Remember, it's important to take care of our bodies and be safe when we travel to new places.
