Who else has experienced Delhi Belly? 🤒 How did you handle it?
Karl Rock Take care Brother 👍👍
Hi, Karl if possible do visit a good Gastroenterologist, I think it will definitely help.
I'm better now 🙏 Thank you all 🙏
All visitors from western countries should think about vaccinating for hepatitis A and also Rota viruses. These are usually spread through unhygienic foods.
And also there are other causes where you need to see good doctor or hospital.
I had Delhi Belly for a day. It went away when I took strong over the counter painkillers.
Get well soon mate. And remember a little drink of desi daru every day keeps the doctor away! Jai bhole ki!
Bankrupt you here?
Panacea - Desi Daru 💯
bald and bankrupt I just watched your video where you say Karl Rock 1,000 times. Brilliant. Absolutely Brilliant.

Don’t eat street food, ever. Drink bottled water.
I learned it the hard way last time I went to Vietnam. First thing I did was having a cold drink. Next thing I know, I was bedridden for two weeks with intense diarrhea.
I love Street Food but I would never touch it in India because the risk of getting sick from it (with myself at least) is very high. I would limit the places to eat and just pretty much eat only from the hotel (I usually stay in 4 or 5 Star Hotels there)
Whenever I visit India, I drink water that is filtered through a Life Straw. It’s kind of inconvenient and it looks odd, but I rarely have any waterborne bacterial stomach infections.
I agree with Pfsif. Delhi belly is basically food poisoning, which is a rather charming English name for what it really is. I studied medicine in college for 8 semesters before changing careers. Delhi belly is caused by ingesting contaminated food, which can be due to two factors only; either bad hygiene from the cook (and we all know what that means) or bacteria attached to the food from dust or anything coming from the proximity to the street. This is plain fact. Only solution to this apart from NOT eating street food and only drinking bottled water, is to have a series of antibiotic injections (they must be injections, otherwise you'll just keep vomiting the pills when the reflex comes). This type of infection doesn't just go away in three days, it can be lethal if untreated if your immune system isn't used to dealing with it. You also need to keep hydrating yourself daily during the process (ideally with an oral hydrating solution) because loss of electrolytes during the following days (caused by diarrhea) is a very serious matter that most people don't really think about. Pain killers are only for the symptoms (the pain), but the fix for the root of the problem is Antibiotic, so you usually need to take them together.
i thought my screen was cracked looking at the top left corner 😃.
Yeah I also thought 😘
I think Indians probably have strongest immune system in the world .
Bullshit- Many Indians carry the entamoeba histollitica in their internal systems and are relatively unhealthy.
@@gavinpinto1836 really?
Unfortunately they die super young.
@@VideologyUlagam Metronidazole, marketed under the brand name Flagyl among others, is an antibiotic and antiprotozoal medication. It is used either alone or with other antibiotics to treat pelvic inflammatory disease, endocarditis, and bacterial vaginosis. It is effective for dracunculiasis, giardiasis, trichomoniasis, and amebiasis.
@@kalebhgoodwin my 94 year old grandmother's elder sister just came in for tea today. So, Indians die young, huh?
hello Karl, if you want to avoid this situation in the nearby future. then don't eat street food because they don't follow safety regulation of Government
Muzammil Junior they cook with their feet
@@kaylaleave i feel sorry for him. Our Indian people are fucking anarchists they dont give a fuck about rules and regulations
@@kaylaleave the fuck?
Kayla Leave Well that's an over-exaggeration
I just commented this lol when I travel to India my husband only let's me drink water bottle and NO STREET FOOD!
Thanks! I’m heading to India in March! Hope you feel better.
Deli Belly=food poisoning/hepatitis/or worse.
@Jamie Lang happened to me in mexico. turned my week vacation into 3 days.
The way he described delhi belly sounds like period cramps heh.
lel!!! NOw i know what periods must feel like!!! Ouch!!!
I am from Maharashtra and I just visited Delhi in Diwali vacation...I had the same situation,sudden pain after 15-20 minutes which lasted for some time and it was horrible...I knew about this before but I didn't knew it happens to Indians too... but I got recovered in 1 day without medications
Don't just take pain meds. Go to a doc and make sure they do a proper work up to make sure its not something serious like enterotoxigenic E.coli. And make sure you stay hydrated and replenish your electrolytes. Quite often its the dehydration and electrolyte imbalance that kills people. Take care man!.
That bacteria almost put me into the death bed 10 years ago. It required 60 dose of penicillin to cure it after 20 days in Hospital.
Jesus! It's enough to scare me off going!
Or just don’t go to India for any reason. Stay in first world nations.
Sorry to hear that happened to you
Hope you are feeling better.
Thank you

Please we know its for fever

Your description of when you went to the hospital is pretty much exactly how I feel when I have endometriosis flare ups. I've called an ambulance before I got prescription pain killers. It was crazy how similar your description was.
Karl thanks for video. I with my wife visited India last autumn for two weeks and hopefully none of has had Delhi belly. I'm happy for us and I hope all you guys who got this will be fine
You are real UA-camr who spreads such good videos for foreigners who visits in india. This will definitely help to non Indian... Best of luck..
Shukhria (thank you ) for the advice.
Never experienced a Delhi belly Karl, but as you describe it must be painful, go to see a doctor as soon as possible. They understand English in India, even you explain it in Hindi. Take some motilium in the mean time if you can have or buy it. Anyway, take care Karl .
Thanks Marie-Elisabeth. I'm all better now 🙏
Karl Rock happy you feel better Karl, keep it that way!
Motilium is banned in USA as it interact with allergy meds and stops heart rthym.
You are a lot tougher than I am dude. If my stomach is slightly upset I get nervous. The way you talk about Delhi belly is like I would talk about a runny nose during allergy season. Kudos to you.
😂😂😂 I love hypochondriacs .. my dad goes full blown cancer patient if he has a headache 😂
Hey, hope you get better soon. Love your videos 🙏
Your videos just keep getting better and better
From the last 4 or 3 videos i got the feelings that you well get sick i love you and hope you well return to your homeland saftey
Sorry to hear you're sick, hope you feel better asap.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!!
Get well soon and take care
You are hard worker dude and sometimes shit happens
Get well soon. God bless you
Take care karl...~♥~
Your in my prayers❤
avoiding non-veg street food is good for novice travelers in india ;-)
He lives there, he's not novice
@@DarkForce852 advice is not just for him
Avoid hotels with chicken or mutton especially in some shit hole place like old Delhi.
I agree. I would be wary of non-vegetarian food in India.
Love you bro!!!
hey karl, you should come over to Kerala to experience India as much . I think compared to dehi you will love Kerala .
And most of the doctors dont over prescribe
all the medicines have their own indication.
eg in times of stomach infection / food poisoning the doctors usually prescribe a capsule which contains the normal bacterial flora of our stomach which has to be taken for three times daily for a period of 3 to 4 days along with 2 course of antibiotics and if there is fever associated with it they usually prescribe a paracetamol also ORS for replenishing the electrolyte loss . These are the usual course of medicines they prescribe. If your condition is much worse or something its better u get admitted.
Ram Ram karl....
I always waiting your videos
Get Well Soon Karl ji.
I was so sick in Calcutta in 2008.......it took a month to recover. Since then I dont eat meat in Asia, it worked out well. So far so good. Never got sick that bad anymore!
You will surely become the ambassador of incredible india
Get well soon my bhai 😀
I’ve had this 2 out of the 3 times I visited Pakistan. It’s no joke. The first time I had it for 4 days and on the fourth day I was literally passing clear water. At that point I went to the hospital and got glucose and medication. The second time I was a bit older and it went away after about 7 or 8 days. I took Imodium which didn’t really help and just drank a lot of fluids. The pain is seriously bad. It’s like having a very sharp cramp in the middle of your stomach, and a constant burning feeling generalized through your whole abdomen. The second time I was super careful for my entire trip and slipped up at the end by eating a roadside naan, so it is possible to avoid it. And like Karl said, if you go to the hospital it goes away much faster. Be very careful not to get dehydrated, I was going to the toilet literally every 5 minutes and it was nothing but water. What kept me safe for most of my trip was just eating very hot and fresh food, so all the bad stuff was killed off, and avoiding anything sketchy that might have tap water in it like roadside smoothies.
omg stay safe brother pray for you forever :)
Experiencing Delhi Belly for the first time only after two days in India. I thought because I lived in Mexico I was going to sleep it off but it ended up killing three days of my work/holiday trip. So sad I'm losing these days, but luckily I had a phone consultation with a doctor and I'm now on painkillers. This video made me feel less anxious, thank you! 🙏
You are cute lol
Hope you feel better soon! You never stated what the meds where that worked for you with this Delhi Belly? Might you tell us so we may be prepared just in case.
Breathing in Delhi air equivalent to smoking 44 cigarettes a day...
😱
😂😂😂😂
When I see other countries, I want to travel. But when I watch videos of all the bad sicknesses people get in these kind of countries, I am glad I am here in Canada.
It's the street food that causes it!
@@dmqn3135 But you'll find tons of people claiming they were poisoned from clean looking restaurants too. All it takes it them forgetting to wash their hands after using the bathroom then touching your food.
Even we Indians have this problem in Delhi... I had this problem when I 1st visited delhi 10 years ago... After that I avoid so many things in delhi... This is the best practice 😁😁
Not every Indian lives in Delhi
Don’t understand why the Indian government doesn’t enforce food safety handling
I experienced a stomach infection when I travelled to Mumbai from the states...I ate a street vada pao and the infection was with me for about a week and ruined my whole Mumbai trip...watched this video and learned a lot!
Feeling bad for you carl, take good care of youself and get well soon ...,
Yes had it...two different things...had to go to doctor when i got back to the usa. It would not go away as you said. Im going back to india if it happens again will get it treated there.
Just keep Omeprazole and Norflox TZ. No matter what problem you have with stomach, it will cure it within an hour. You never have to contact a doctor again.
Are you safe if you eat curries that have been cooked at the boiling point? The heat should destroy the bacteria...but then you have the issue of dirty cutlery, plates, possibly contaminated water/ice. Are you safe at a restaurant?
According to Google Bizarre history of Delhi belly:
"The term first appeared in the summer of 1857,” claims RV Smith, author of several books on the city. “The Indian mutineers had taken over the capital and the British were encamped on the Ridge where many of them were incapacitated due to upset tummies. It was they who coined the term Delhi Belly.”
So when i get food poisoning in England/NZ what shall i call it Irish/Scottish/Maori Belly ? LOL
Funny I was just in Chennai last week sick. Could have used this last week. Get better my friend
You’re actually so cute 😂😍
So what medication do you get prescribed and which ones do you need to reject?
Get well soon, bhai.
Get well soon man
My man Your Hindi is Awesome... "DHANYAWAAD"🔥🔥
Thanks bro!
@@KarlRock Love ur videos 🔥
Please take proper rest and medicine 😥 Get well soon sir.
Hey man, I know how you feel. I had a case of Delhi Belly during the last day of trip. It was so bad, that I had to use the bathroom 3 or 4 times an hour. What was worse that I had a 14 hr flight afterwards. Terrible stuff lol.
Oh sad! I feel sorry for your situation! Get well soon!! You should eat yoghurt it'll benefit you.
In Hindi sharp pain is called "maroda " maroda inside stomach..... Just eat some hazmola tablet
Take care brother
drink a lot of water and eat simple food,
I think you should take aloe vera juice(Patanjali) with water, this is very healthy for digestion and for stomach pain and problems
love you bro😃😃
I went to Mexico and got something that lasted 3 weeks. I had extreme stomach pain and a fever at the end of the 3 weeks. I finally went to the dr. The pain feels like you are giving birth!! it's that bad!
Get well soon
I mean, does your immune system fight off the infection and all you can do is take pain killers to make the pain go away?
Get Well Soon Karl!
Guess that "Food Tour NOT in Delhi".... should NOT have been done in the first place :-D
You'll be alright Karl.. and you'll keep rocking.
Get well soon bro
It is a good idea to keep oregano oil or mastic gum extract or monolaurin at hand when traveling, they are all natural antibacterial supplements.
But Anyone knows the science behind the Delhi belly ? What bacteria is it? H pylori?
get well soon bro
*Are you sure it wasn't the movie that made you ill ?*
Hello, don’t go extreme low cost India is a huge diverse country which have massive wealth gaps, so you can travel 800km with 1.75$ to 150$ and you can buy dosa(food) at price of 10cents to 67$ that’s the reason your health get upset. I suggest all the people who is traveling anywhere in the world to check google reviews before doing anything either it is traveling from one to other place or eating food or buy clothes or taking guide or going to local movie theater or anything.
Hi! Did you use travel insurance for your medical care? Thanks
So, my husband and I are going to Jaipur in the fall. Can we avoid this by just eating in better restaurants? We're not on a terribly tight budget. We tend to do a mix of luxury and more local/low key things when we travel. I'm thinking the more street food-ish things may not be a good idea, and we should stick to better sit-down restaurants?
yeah. go to eat an indian buffet .. you will have some sort of protective barrier.
Eat lots of fresh yogurt (not cooked, not deep frozen)
U r awesome! ☺☺😊😃😳😩👌👌👌👌
I hope you r alright Karl. Get well soon
I'm great now, thank you 🙏
Seems all that food you had in the previous video caught up with you....
Haha, na this was filmed before that video was. Bahadurgarh food was clean
Poor lad! At least you can continue You Tubing. I feel your pain here in Poland, Dude. I'm not a fan of pharmaceuticals (painkillers). Have you found any traditional (Indian) remedies, or Chinese perhaps?
Get well soon.
Indian pewdiepie
Poo dee pie
Please dhyan rakhiye karl ji take care of your health
Karl I would love to see you visiting Tibetan colony, majnu ka tila, New aruna Nagar and tell us your experience
So I heard if you consume Neem daily, it prevents most infections.
Activated charcoal saved my life. Took 1 1/2 days
You know what? I have just about the same kind of severe pain now and then...more so about 5 years back.
It is good that you do a thorough check-up if you are staying long in India.
Now, I always make sure I eat lots of *dahi* (curd) after my meal (add sugar if it seems too bitter for you) and especially more so when I take spicy food. It does help, I tell you.
Karl you can try some antacids like Eno for mild pain and for strong pain eat pepfiz by ranbaxy......or try gasofast by GSK i think....
U can also take gelosil or digiene liquid....
Had severe gastro enteritis issues a couple of times in Delhi and once in the Maldives while on mission. Got admitted to a nursing home in Delhi for a few days, put on a drip and generally cleared out the infection from the stomach with the help of the usual eg antibiotics, oral rehydration powder, pain killers, rest from work etc the. Maldives case was really bad and survived with Imodium which just suppresses the outpourings...my advice : be very careful what you eat and make sure you heat up the food really well, drink “real” mineral water ( although this can reduce the ability of the system to handle infected food), ideally don’t drink alcohol, as this can be spurious, even when purchased from 5 star hotel...on the whole it ain’t easy , especially if your stomach is slightly weak...get well soon Karl!
Hey Karl. Get well soon buddy 😀
Does India have a tourist insurance plan?
Cuba has a plan for $20 and it is health insurance coverage while you are visiting Cuba.
It may happen because of weather change or viral infection which is common in Delhi
What do you mean it doesnt go away? You mean you still have it??
Or did it go after 5-6 days?
Man just got back from Delhi, I've never been so sick!!
Get well 🔜
3 months ago I ate too much street foods and got stomach pain and chest pain also and when I asked doctor, he said it was because of street foods.i had so much pain and pressure in chest. It was like a heart attack but doctor said no, there's no heart problem but indigestive problem.... Im fine now after facing those about 60 horrible days and nights... I will never eat street foods.
Damn I didn't know it was this severe. My cousin returned from abroad and got Delhi belly and I thought he was just overacting with some digestive issues/ upset stomach. I feel quite bad now.
Get well soon. I have lived all my life in India and had moved to US 6 years ago. But let me tell you I still fall sick and get delly belly every time I visit India. It is not just because of contaminated food. I literally had one meal from a very luxurious restaurant in mumbai and that was enough to fall sick. Basically my gut can no longer take the spice level anymore or needs some time to adjust again. A friend of mine who ate the same food from UK had no issues. But fell sick when he had something else. It totally depends on each person’s body.
I freaked out when you are talking to the camera in that withe room because there is some cable hanging in the left corner and it really looks like my phone screen waa broken 🤣
It happens with me every time I visit Delhi!
