I can vouch for India, my digestive system has been hit by some weird and wonderful stuff but India was the only place I got severe trots, to the point of running to the bog (hole in the floor). The flight home was an experience to say the least, not often I ignore seatbelt safety lights but when one needs to go...
I was not quite right for about 3 months after coming home. In my defence, most of the locals we were with also got ill eating the same stuff so it must have been wrong.
