Shame they had their holiday ruined. Sadly lots of people think that resting n sleeping and taking anti nausea drugs like stemitil and maxolon and anti diarrhoea tabs will make them feel better. But all they do is relieve the symptoms for an hour or three.
Your symptoms will get worse until you take an antibiotic to fix or kill off the bug thats in your system.
I always take an antibiotic with me everywhere I travel and when get first symptom I start meds and within 12hrs back to normal holiday mode. You dont need to have the meds just at least know the name of them and go to a chemist (apotec ?sp) and ask for some as there is no prescription required in Bali.
Be armed with knowledge to prevent ruining your hard worked for holiday is my motto.
