Re: seeking info- Egypt and happy tummies

Mango juice is a "safe" fruit juice because mangos must be peeled in order to make juice from them. Strawberry juice is NOT "safe", but it tastes so good that I've been known to drink it anyway! Lemon juice is "safe" for the same reasons as mangoes, and can do double duty protecting your gut from amoeba parasites. In all these cases, be CERTAIN to stipulate NO ICE. Chilled carcadet (hibiscus tea) is also a nice choice. (You can also get it hot.)

If you have an uncontrollable urge to eat salad, give it a hefty dose of vinegar and maybe squeeze some lemon juice over it for good measure. Vinegar can act as an antibacterial agent, and both substances are good for anti-amoeba.

Vegetarian-wise, I've had some delicious lentil soup in Egypt. And steamed vegetables are usually available.
