Bali belly is the most common reason guests call us, and after years of nursing here I can usually hear it in the first message: hit suddenly at 2 am, you've lost count of the bathroom trips, and even a sip of water turns your stomach. The cruel part of traveller's diarrhoea is that the treatment — fluids — is exactly what your gut refuses to accept. That's where an IV earns its keep: we put a litre of Ringer's lactate straight into circulation, give anti-nausea medication under our doctor's protocol so the vomiting cycle breaks, add an antispasmodic for the cramps, and suddenly recovery has a floor under it. You'll still need a day of rest and bland food — we leave you oral rehydration salts and written instructions for that part.
What’s in the Drip
1,000 ml Ringer's lactate
The rehydration fluid of choice for diarrhoea losses — replaces water and electrolytes in proportions close to what you've actually lost.
Anti-nausea medication
Ondansetron under our doctor's standing protocol — breaks the vomiting cycle so you can hold down oral fluids afterwards.
Antispasmodic + electrolytes
Eases the stomach cramps; potassium and other electrolytes are rebalanced based on your symptoms.
Take-home recovery kit
Oral rehydration salts, probiotics and a written eat-this-not-that plan for the next 48 hours — the drip starts recovery, the kit finishes it.
Red Flags: When You Need a Clinic, Not a Drip
Most Bali belly is miserable but self-limiting, and an IV plus 24 hours of rest genuinely turns the corner for most guests. But some symptoms mean you need a doctor and possibly antibiotics or hospital care, and we will refuse the booking and point you to a clinic if you report any of these: blood or black colour in your stool, fever above 39°C, fainting or near-fainting, severe abdominal pain that doesn't ease between cramps, symptoms beyond 48 hours with no improvement, or any of this in a small child, an elderly traveller or during pregnancy. That's not caution theatre — those are signs of infections that need diagnosis, not just rehydration.
For everything milder, we wrote a full Bali belly survival guide — what causes it, how to dodge it, and the first-24-hours plan. If you're just depleted without the stomach drama, the Hydration & Energy IV is the lighter option. And yes, we've done many a two-person Bali belly call-out — same warung, same regret; group rates from four people.

How It Works

Screening + doctor protocol
Quick health questionnaire; the anti-nausea and antispasmodic medications are given under our supervising doctor's standing orders.
Nurse arrives in 45–60 minutes
Vitals first — temperature especially. Then a sterile single-use line and the slow comfortable rehydration begins.
Drip, then the recovery kit
45–75 minutes on fluids, anti-nausea on board, and you keep the oral rehydration salts, probiotics and food plan for the next two days.
