Even though she ate & drank basically the same foods etc as at least one of our party in the restaurants. They never found what was affecting my mother & as she suffers already from gastric reflux and IBS she is always very careful with what she chooses to eat when she's not cooking it herself. I have learnt a lot from that experience. What you eat & drink while you are ill and as you start to recover makes all the difference. Since that trip I found a list of foods thanks to btf that are safe during a gastro attack and for the days and weeks after. She went to the emergency department of the local hospital the day after we got home & they gave her a combination of 2 strong antibiotics 4 capsules taken all at once. They believed she may have not been infected anymore but just gave them as a precaution. She was very careful with her diet for at least the next 3 weeks but sadly my Dad will not let her travel to Bali with us again.
