'I visited an amazing tropical paradise but one drink left me bedbound' Like many others who reside in the UK, I try to escape the winter blues with a week away in search of some natural vitamin D. Bali in Indonesia, is a beloved travel destination for its warm climate and affordability, despite the long flight from the UK, it is truly one of those rare locations you can relax and switch off.
However, despite the precautions I shared with my partner, within 24 hours of our trip last month, I started to feel ill. At first, I didn't acknowledge the severity of my condition, but after being stuck by the toilet for two hours with extreme nausea, it became clear that I was suffering from the infamous Bali belly.
With endless sandy beaches, waves that perfectly barrel and crystal clear water, Bali is a travel destination like no other.
On the flight to Denpasar, I lectured my partner on Bali Belly, the name given to an upset stomach by tourists who have come down with such symptoms in the country.
However, one wrong move and you could be left bedbound with an IV drip - as I soon learnt.
