Bali is a dream destination for many travelers, but a common setback—often called “Bali Belly”—can quickly disrupt plans. Understanding what it is, what causes it, and how to respond makes a huge difference in how fast you bounce back and get on with your trip.
What is Bali Belly? It’s essentially travelers’ diarrhea, usually triggered by contaminated food or water. Typical symptoms include cramping, nausea, loose stools, and sometimes fever. Most cases are mild and short-lived, but it’s important to manage them properly to avoid dehydration and complications.
How to treat it: Prioritize hydration using water or oral rehydration salts; add simple foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast as tolerated. Rest, avoid dairy and alcohol, and consider over-the-counter anti-diarrheals if appropriate. If symptoms are severe, bloody, or persist beyond 24–48 hours, seek medical attention promptly.
