BALI BELLY
A stomach bug in Bali is never fun, but it can happen, even when you’re careful. Think food poisoning with a tropical twist: cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, sometimes fever and usually a few slow days.
When in Bali make sure to wash your hands often, brush your teeth with filtered water. Drink plenty of coconut water or electrolyte drinks.
THE BELLY SOLUTION
The best thing you can do to avoid as much as possible? Prepare your gut before you travel and know what to do if it hits. We recommend The Belly Solution as your pre-trip essential (Instagram @thebellysolution)

It contains Saccharomyces Boulardii 10 billion CFU as the probiotic, plus PHGG as the prebiotic, combined with electrolytes to support hydration. You simply take it with food or water, making it easy to bring along in your suitcase or day bag.
It’s also shelf-stable in hot climates, which makes it ideal for Bali and other higher-risk travel destinations. Suitable for adults and children in accordance with the directions, so it’s a smart, family-friendly travel essential too.
You can order it online via thebellysolution.com.au before your trip and check their website for where to shop instore.
If you do catch it: rest, hydrate, use The Belly Solution as directed and be patient. It passes. In case fever doesn’t go away after a few days, contact a doctor.
