It sparked my interest to look for something that could prevent it, and found that a good probiotic containing acidophilus and bifido bacteria taken about a week before you leave (and throughout the duration of your trip.) can really stack the odds in your favor against TD. I wrote a blog post about it on my site at www.yourtraveltoolkit.com My sister and brother in law go to Mexico frequently and I gave them "Optiflora" to take. Neither of them got sick and they offered it to a relative who came to visit. She would not take it and did get sick. So, in addition to the precautions you've mentioned I would definitely add a probiotic.
