I lived in Bali for nearly a year with two young children and lived in my husbands village. We never got Bali Belly, touch wood!! We cleaned our teeth with the tap water and ate ice cubes. We only ate in the village and Warungs. I guess you just have to make sure what you eat is fresh, don't eat at Buffets they are the worst. I hear that it is sometimes better to eat at a Warung as they buy their food fresh daily. Where in a Restaurant who knows how long its been in the fridge. All I can say is don't be too scared to try things, if you are sus, don't eat it, and just make sure you drink plenty of Aqua. Dehydration is the main culprit in Bali Belly I reakon.
