Hello,
Since you have stomach infection at present, you are suggested to visit a GP, get physically examined & treated before you travel.
Flagyl & augmentin should work effectively in case of any emergency. You can also take a course of Cephalosporin if needed. You can keep antacids & PPI's in case you need it.
ake boiled food to stay at a safer side. Avoid oily, junk & packaged food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
