Thanks heaps to all those posting messages wishing me well! :) I received my results this afternoon, just as I expected to hear really, NOTHING! Seems everyone that I have talked to that has come back with anything similar seems to get the same answer! :( Since I am feeling a little better (not much) I won't look into it any further, unless things flare up again, or don't clear up from now. I guess I will have to put it down to a really bad case of Bali-Belly! If I knew that is what "Bali-Belly" was before I left, I doubt I would have gone! Or at least have taken medication with me to be prepared!
A warning to all "Newbies" going to Bali, talk to your doctor and get some medication to take with you, incase you happen to fall ill yourself! Be careful, drink "imported" bottled water (eg Evian), or bring your own with you. And don't OD on the fruit juices and fruits, especially if you aren't used to drinking and eating alot of them!
And don't let this put you off, I and others, who have had similar experiences, are just very unlucky! Enjoy Bali, it's a beautiful, exciting place! :)
