In the gut region?
If no then you are luckier than most who frequent Asia.
If yes what did you put it down to? Could have been the tap water no?
Yes its up to the individual but once you have been really sick in a humid less than sanitary environment you take a few precautions.
Sometimes its the straw that broke the camels back.
Personally I would advise all overseas travelers to brush their teeth in bottled water whatever country they visit until they have a tolerance to the local water.
But Asia is bottled water from start to finish for me.
I will be happy if nobody ever gets sick from Bali tap water but wouldnt take the chance myself and why would I?
