Gazipasa: local notes for acute gastroenteritis
Gazipasa is a beach and hotel area, so sun, pools and buffet food are the usual causes of holiday illness. Close by are Demre, Antalya, Kemer, which share the same medical services. All-inclusive buffets sit out in the heat for hours, so tummy bugs spread rapidly through resort hotels. Tell your hotel if you are ill, and stay out of the pool until you have been symptom-free for 48 hours.

Understanding acute gastroenteritis
When the lining of the stomach and intestines becomes inflamed for a short time, doctors call it acute gastroenteritis. It is often called a stomach bug, traveller’s diarrhoea or food poisoning, and most cases clear up within a few days.
What can cause acute gastroenteritis
Most infections come from something eaten or drunk: contaminated water, undercooked meat or seafood, unwashed salad or ice. You can also catch it from a sick travel companion. Heat speeds up bacterial growth, which explains why summer trips so frequently end with a tummy bug.
Preventing acute gastroenteritis
Wash hands before eating, choose food that is freshly cooked and served hot, drink sealed or bottled water, and be cautious with salads and ice if you are unsure of their source.
How acute gastroenteritis is treated
The doctor asks about your meals and recent travel, checks for signs of dehydration, gives clear advice on fluids and food and, where suitable, prescribes treatment. The e-prescription can be collected at the nearest pharmacy. Options may include oral rehydration solutions, anti-sickness medicine and painkillers; antibiotics only for specific causes.
- Rest, and avoid alcohol and very fatty or spicy food while recovering
- Wash hands thoroughly to avoid passing it on
- Sip oral rehydration solution (sachets from any pharmacy) little and frequently
- Add plain foods such as rice, bananas, toast or soup as appetite returns
