Being of Malay origin, you get used to spicey hot food. It's the same as everywhere else in the world: if it's not fresh and/or cooked properly then of course you could get sick and if you're not used to the food then of course your gut will play up! Anyone with a delicate constitution should ease into it. Personal hygiene is a must but anyone could end up with Bali Belly - even the Balinese! With that being said... yes, I've eaten off of carts, yes, I've eaten at local warungs and no, I've never had Bali Belly but I did have a case of vomitting and diarrhoea whilst living in Europe for 3 months :)
