I'm assuming it's probably cleaner and healthier there as well, right? Have fun in India and take lots of pics! Except for all the sick kids and animals. If you are looking to go the holistic route, the homeopathic remedy "Arsenicum Album" is fantastic for traveler's diarrhea. Load up on probiotics, digestive enzymes, and hydrochloric acid (it's for your stomach acid). They are great for preventing digestive distress. I'd still probably bring Imodium

Bring lots of Purell, Wet Ones and toilet paper. Don't eat street food. Drink only bottled water (check the seals on the caps to make sure they were refilled by a street vendor). Get a script for Cipro, fill it and bring it along with some Immodium. All that aside, relax and have fun. It's an amazing place and I dream of going back. Oh and Delhi sucks. What sucks about Delhi? We've got all our shots, and will be picking up our malaria and typhoid meds before the trip. Immodium is on the list, as well as Purell. Definitely bringing TP. What did you use Wet Ones for?

The locals drink the water all the time, don't they? Is our water so unbelievably awesome that we can't handle the substandard stuff? If the requirements for surviving a vacation including bringing a suitcase full of antibiotics, that would seemingly outweigh any benefit of going in the first place.

He said it is the shittiest shithole he's ever been in. While he was there, his suitcase fell apart, so he had to buy a new one there. Fast forward many years, we are selling the avocado green suitcase in a garage sale, and an Indian guy picks it up, and my dad was like, "that's from India." And the Indian guy was all, "oh, this is very good quality." and bought it. /endstory
