What should I do in order to prevent having stomach problems when traveling in Mexico?I am planning to visit Mexico for vacation. And everytime I go I get stomach problems and I want to prevent it from happening again. Should I have some vaccines or what other things should I do?

Take you own water along.
When I go to Ohio, I do not drink the water there. I sure as heck wouldn't drink Mexicos water either.

This is what I do when traveling and so far I've had no problems.
Try to drink bottled water (club soda or mineral water). Also use the bottled water to brush your teeth.
Clip your fingernails short and wash your hands often, be sure to clean under nails with a brush.
Eat food that has just been cooked and be sure it's been cooked thoroughly. Avoid street vendors unless the food is piping hot. Avoid any raw fruits or vegetables unless you can clean them in safe water or peel them.
Drink a couple of glasses or white wine before or with meals. White wine lowers the PH of the stomach and makes it harder for any bug to survive.

use only bottle water for anything you put in your month, i.e. bottle water for drinking and brushing your teeth and rinsing your month, don't eat raw salad or anything that's wahed by tap water and is not cooked. Bring immodium just in case, check with the pharmacy for the drug you take to prevent diaerra.

Bottled water, nothing raw, especially shrimp or other sea food, lettuce. One year I was in Cancun and they provided bottled water in the room, I walked into the room to find the maid filling the bottle from the tap. Also, Pepto Bismal taken for the three days before you depart and everyday while there get the tablets.
