Beware of a new strain that is getting around. I ate at Ledgends in Garlic Lane and got Bali Belly which has lasted 12 days so far. Bought lots of different medication in Bali to help but they only eased the problems a little bit. Returned home last Monday and down to the doctors Tuesday and she advised of this different strain which does not respond to the usual medications. I had taken Maxalon & Lomitol which helped a little but I had to take them all the time. I had to pay $24 for 6 Antibiotics, (as they are not subsidized) I have had 4 so far and the runs have stopped and only vomit once a day now. Only good thing Lost 4 kilos. Oh well been to Bali 11 times and first time I have got Bali Belly so cant really complain.
