Q: Chinese Medicine or Street Food?
Every time I try to follow my friend's mom's advice on what to eat to stay healthy in China, it totally backfires and I get major stomach issues. I find that eating street food and "xiao chi" seem to calm my stomach down way more, any reasons why?
I bring 'Pepto Bismo', look for dry pre-packaged breads and crackers and try and find McDonalds with some regularity. Will NOT mess with Street Food or Chinese Medicine. No matter what - stomach issue of some kind will ensue.
woody:
TCM is mostly superstition but I eat street food all the time and never had a problem. Touch wood.
If you drink beer with your street food, you will be fine. Beer kills germs.
if u are eating street food i hope u got your hipititias shots
street food are OK if You mind what You eat 
for expl: hot meals are more safe, than fresh fruits...
