Whatever it is called you want to avoid it if possible - and recover as soon as possible.
Eating spicy dishes, street food or even unfamiliar ingredients can cause horrible issues - as can simply drinking ice, or impure water.
The result can be hours, or days, with the runs followed by time to rehydrate. It can ruin any holiday.
The brand has been founded by a husband-and-wife team from Victoria who love to travel and are keen to continue doing so well into later years - with a practical focus on staying well while away.
The website is now live and takes an education-led approach - helping travellers to more exotic corner of the globe understand the condition itself, and importantly, what they’re taking and why certain ingredients are effective.
The Belly Solution is billed as "a travel-friendly electrolyte oral rehydration powder combining: Saccharomyces boulardii, Sunfiber PHGG prebiotic, electrolyte rehydration support, ginger (for nausea support) and pomegranate (for antioxidant support and palatability).
I'm not totally sure what that all means, but it has been designed very deliberately for travel - compact, lightweight, shelf-stable (ideal for hot climates), and in a resealable pouch for use on the go.
One of the key differentiators is the formulation. There are very few products in Australia offering 10 billion CFU of Saccharomyces boulardii, and the creators are not aware of any that combine probiotic, prebiotic and electrolyte support in a single format designed to span the full journey - from pre-travel planning and prevention, through support during symptoms, to gut recovery afterwards and once home.
It’s also suitable for both adults and children, making it a practical option for families travelling together.
At full retail, it works out at approximately $4 per daily dose, offering a combined, convenient and relatively affordable alternative to sourcing each of these elements separately. And it can be taken when you need it, not when you are staying in the safety of a five-star resort.

The first product will, in time, become a dedicated range, with each product designed to stand alone, but also work together - all focused specifically on travellers’ diarrhoea, which the creators say remains a surprisingly under-served area.
It's a new product so I haven't tried it yet, but you can check out https://thebellysolution.com.au/
