I'm wrong, is -
Bali Belly - Upset tummy, bad wind pains, diaria
Can treat yourself - Charcoal tablets, diaria tablets, hot black tea,
Green Tiger Balm (Balinese Version, 4,000RP in shops) rub around navel area, red fanta drinks (so one travel mentioned) or red bull drinks.
Food Poisioning - Upset tummy, bad wind pains, diaria, vomiting,
headaches & pains of joints, hot & cold flushes, high temperatures,
vision can be blurred.
Don't use diaria tablets because you need to loose the bug (another travellers advise)..
Must see a doctor...
