In Reply to: Bali Belly posted by John on Sunday, 18. April 1999 at 13:04 Bali Time:
Last month in Bali I came down with the dreaded Bali Belly (foolishly ate salad at Poppies) and was so sick that I required medical attention. At the Aston in Nusa Dua, they had a doctor on call and he fixed me up fast with a shot (muscle relaxant) and a battery of pills. I was much better within 1/2 an hour and really back to my old (if somewhat wiser) self the next day or so.
Some fellow travellers did get it the day before departing and did not call the doctor, thus suffering a miserable, fretful and sleepless 27 hour flight home--not recommended!
The only thing I was thinking when doubled up in bed with severe stomach cramps was 1) Thank God this isn't happening on the flight
2) This must be how labour feels-yikes!!!!
Have a safe and enjoyable trip-we loved Bali!
