Q: How long did it take for your tummy to adapt to China?
Been here for 3 months now, teaching English in a private school here in Beijing. And for the last 94 days, I can't recall having a single normal trip to the bathroom. I never felt so loose in my entire life... is it only me or is there anyone else who got the same problem? How did you get over it?
The food is delicious, but it ain't yummy for my tummy... 
Foods excellent no doubt about it!! Having said that I haven't shit right going on 6 years! If I go to HK or back home my crap is right as rain, as soon as I'm back pissing out of my ass ...
I answered another one of your questions with a list of Chinese names for western tummy meds. Check that, hope it helps.
The biggest thing is just giving your body time to adjust to the onslaught of bacteria or find cheese and eat a lot of it.
it look more than a month to adapt with chinese foods. i lived with bread and fruits almost for a month
In all honesty I eat just about anywhere and most things and "touch wood" have never had a problem.
touching wood isnt any good for me 
And i'm glad to know i'm not the only one in that situation, although 6 years is damn long.... dammit, why is the food so good but turns my sphincter into Baghdad circa 2007?
stay away from anything fatty,,, eat only cheese and saw dust., plaster,cement
