I got it back in April last year for the first time it is bad,,,, a tummy rubble bit free in the morning etc is all due to the way they cook food, Palm Oil is used alot we don't use it or not like they do and that will keep you on your toes, yes the spices etc are also a big hand in it.The water if it is not the bottled type when they cook that is ok but it must be boiled and boiled hard that is were the main problems occurs. The Locals get it but don't many times tell and you don't know. How to stop it??? Never happen. To help prevent it many ways, The best i have found and recommended by many Balinese friends is to drink real Kopi every morning the fresh brewed stuff not packet. Works for me and the way i got over the belly was a course of old kopi for the first half of the day then very sweet kopi (Fresh) then normal brewed Kopi till it went it took half a day to start to feel better another day to get over it but in that day i could eat ( a little at first) and drink (bintang) after that all was good.
Try it Kopi as a start for the day may work may be a wives tale from Home (Bali) keeps me going.. Bring on the 15th June more Kopi mmmmm oh bintang also LOL dreaming might go crack my last 4 cans now yep..
puttin them in the fridge..
