Struggling with Bali belly? You're not alone. Every year, thousands of travelers experience the uncomfortable symptoms of Bali belly—a form of food poisoning common in tropical destinations. Whether you’re dealing with mild discomfort or intense stomach cramps, this guide covers everything you need to know about Bali belly symptoms and treatment, including how to cure it and recover quickly.

What Is Bali Belly?

Bali belly is a local term for traveler’s diarrhea caused by consuming contaminated food or water. It's also referred to as gastroenteritis, a stomach bug, or simply food poisoning. Most cases are short-lived but can feel severe while they last.

Common Bali Belly Symptoms

If you’re feeling unwell in Bali, here are the symptoms of Bali belly to watch for:

• Diarrhea (watery or frequent bowel movements)

• Nausea and vomiting

• Stomach cramps and bloating

• Fever and chills

• Loss of appetite

• Gas or discomfort after eating

These symptoms can start within hours of exposure or take up to a few days to appear.

How to Get Rid of Bali Belly Fast

1. Stay Hydrated with Oral Rehydration

The fastest way to start recovering is by restoring fluids. Mix:

• 1 liter of clean water

• 6 teaspoons of sugar

• ½ teaspoon of salt

Or use pharmacy-grade solutions like Oralit. If you're struggling to keep fluids down, IV rehydration therapy may be necessary.

2. Use Over-the-Counter Medication

• Anti-diarrheal tablets: Attapulgite, activated charcoal, or kaolin can help ease diarrhea.

• Anti-nausea meds: Such as domperidone or ondansetron.

• Pain relief: Paracetamol or ibuprofen to reduce fever and cramps.

3. Switch to a Gentle Diet

Follow the BRAT diet:
Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast.
Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, dairy, and greasy meals until fully recovered.
