I always got the shits on my DR trips, and it was the only bad part. After 3 trips getting the dreaded green liquid Sosua shits, I decided this last trip to take some pre-emptive action, and there is probably a lot of good advice on the site, but I had some success and I want to share it.
First, 1 yogurt every day for 2 weeks before the trip
Second, eat NO uncooked fruits or vegetables while in country, no matter what.
Third, Take an Immodium Advanced every morning whether you need it or not
I was right as rain all week for the first time ever here. If you spend a lot of time in the DR and are used to the local natural bacteria, then you can be lacks with step two. Otherwise, for the guys who only go once or twice a year, this worked for me. I hope this helps somebody.
Monger On!!
