I have been traveling to Bali two times a year for eight years as well as being a world travler for twenty years, especially Mexico and Central America. The only digestive problems I have experienced is one or two days of minor diarrhea and this was in Bali where I have travelled for more than a year. Beware of the tea! The U.S Health Dept. now believes all tea must be boiled for over 20 minutes. Several times I have seen The Balinese serve tea that has just been brought to a boil. I eliminated tea and no more problems. Also beware of the food, water and tea on Garuda, Singapore Air, China Airlines, and United out of Asian airports. Only drink water you see come out of bottled water, not the airplanes tap, no tea. Carry health bars and food (and bottled water) for those meals that smeal bad.
