Stomachache remedies in Saigon

Published:

Any suggestions on the best remedies for relieving a tummy ache in Saigon?

Here are some I heard about:


  • 7-Up or Sprite (American)

  • Soda Chanh (Vietnamese)

  • Rice porridge with ginger (Vietnamese)

  • Sports Drink -electrolyte (American)

  • Black coffee (Vietnamese)

  • Lots of water (American and Vietnamese)


I heard many people in Saigon are having stomach problems at the moment, maybe a virus, not sure.

Tonight I will eat some Indian food with a lot of yogurt.  They also have this soup that can cleanse the body.  I hope that will help me recover for the week...
