Please don't be too traumatised and give Indo food one last go before you leave 🥺 Try to get them from restaurants not warungs (side street stall) as they're usually prepared quite unhygienically. Good to notice their customers as well! More tourists as customers = cleaner preparation! Enjoy Bali Linda!
Ive gotten food poisoning when I was in China & after I recovered I continued to eat Chinese food. Because why wouldn’t I? Your body also is taking time to adjust and digest the local foods since it’s so different from what it’s normally used to. She really should go back to Indo food at least once. Especially since she’s leaving.
I looked it up and it's called a conditioned taste aversion (when you get sick after eating something and then associate the food with the sickness) maybe I should try a different kind of dish that doesn't remind me of the one that got me sick!! thank you for the recommendation :)))
linda please never stop posting!! ive been watching you for about a year now and your videos never dissapoint. thank you so much for constantly putting in the effort to give us fun, high-quality videos❤️❤️
It's very normal to feel an aversion for a kind of food after it makes you really sick. Even if it's not the exact food you had, so I think if sticking to something that you could eat with more confidence that's what's important. No point in forcing yourself to eat something you're going to be overly anxious about or that your body is still averse to. I somehow got food poisoning from sesame noodles once and I avoided noodle dishes for a while after it had happened because my body just associated it with poison lol. Which is a shame because I love sesame noodles.
I had papaya several weeks ago and felt extreme stomach pain. The next time someone offered me papaya, I declined it. Even though I really love papaya as a fruit. I never knew tooo much of it could give me such pain and nausea.
linda, this has been a super difficult year and all my plans are out the window suddenly, dropping out of nursing school, struggling with disordered eating, and recently getting broken up with. having your voice around has helped keep me alive. thank you.
Some folks have never had food poisoning before and it shows. The emotional, physical and psychological TRAUMA from food betraying you is so real. The smell / taste / even just the idea of whatever food gave you food poisoning sick sends you for a tailspin, Instant vomit feelings for me even 5 months later.
I had the exact same thing happen to me in Thailand! But it went away went I was with a Thai family for a whole day so they just gave me a lot of Thai food. Maybe you can try a food tour or go eat with people from your hostel/hotel. Or ask the staff for recommendations! Because Indonesian food is the BEST imo
I got food poisoning from a hamburger once and couldn’t eat them again for MONTHS. I totally feel your pain and hope you’ll be able to revisit Indonesian food again in the near future. Sucks to not be able to properly enjoy local cuisine when traveling 😢
I only got sick from Indonesian food once, and that was the first time I ate street food. After that, I never got sick again. But I guess it is different for everyone.
Never watched friends as a whole, just some bits of episodes here and there but really want tooooo. Might even make a vlog about it with my reaction I think that would be fun
That food looks amazing Linda!🥹 Food poisoning sucks😭 I once got food poisoning after eating a Big Tasty and I just can’t even think about going back to McDonald’s🥲 Thank you for your videos❤️ sending you a big hug from Argentina.
Soooo I know you got sick from eating at this one particular Indonesian food place. But you should still try other spots, i don’t really understand the point of skipping the local food when you are traveling. Especially in a country with such diverse and delicious cuisine.
hey linda!! i returned from a holiday in bali a week ago where i got *horrible* bali belly for a few days. i’m a vegetarian which definitely narrowed down the source of my food poisoning, but i think it came from accidentally ingesting tap water which is really unhygienic out there. try to avoid raw vegetables that may have been washed in unfiltered tap water and letting ice melt in your drinks, because ice out there is usually made from unfiltered water as well :) love your videos!!
There are many places to get good Indonesian food and have a good guarantee of not getting sick, defs would encourage to try! Street food can a bit riskier
Girl I’m so happy for you. Keep being yourself, your amazing, beautiful, kind self. And keep doing the things you love. In school we are always taught to live our life by a deadline, wether it be an exam or college or to get a job at a certain age. But as you get past all that, you realise life isn’t like that. Things can change and get in the way and can cause us to completely 180 everything. Life is free flowing and can be so beautiful. Live your life the way you want as much as possible. Wether it’s by doing the smallest things that make you feel happy Or getting a one way ticket to Bali. Don’t live a life of regret. And it’s ok to feel down some days and to not feel ok. Life is full of twists and turns. When it’s hard remember how far you’ve come and how your past self wished she were you rn, and how there is so much more to explore. Things get in the way, and life can change, but don’t let society’s deadlines be one of the things to detour you. Stay strong and live for life not for the next deadline.🤍
I recently went to Bali and now on my last day in Thailand and I got food poisoning!!! But I’m sure it wasn’t from the street vendors but actually a fancy Korean shops Gimbap. Maybe I should’ve stuck to Thai food lolll.
I still cant eat (or smell) subway 15 years after getting violently Ill after eating it - I think I was sick before I ate the subway and the timing sucked. BUT I would definitely try another dish as I can still eat subs, just not from Subway!
heyyy linda! the food looked amazing 🤩 but i suggest you to try babi guling which is smoked pork with crispy skin or ayam betutu atleast! and maybe you're not get food poisoning but just not get used to the food in here or maybe it was not hygienic enough cuz ur buying it from a small stall on the street, hope ur get well soon lindaa! Enjoy your day in Bali ❤
I feel bad to hear that you’re traumatized eating Indonesian food. I suggested to try eat Indonesian food in restaurants/cafe. When you’re used to it, you can gradually eat at warungs (search/googled a good review warung around you). Also for those who are traveling to Indonesia, please don’t drink from the tap. Our tap water is not consumable/drinkable. It need to be boiled or filtered. Also try to ask the warungs/street stall vendors/cafe/restaurants if they made their ice from boiled water or filtered water. There are some ignorant sellers who still uses tap water ice for their drinks!!! That can cause you a food poisoning. Better to drink bottled drinks/cans if you’re not sure what kind of ice they use.
I’m going to indonesia next summer for one semester studying and im hella scared of food poisioning since I have emetophobia 🫠 Do you still I will be safe when eating at cafes/restaurants?? I even thought of only cooking there since I am so scared of it 🫠
@@PinkSmiiley the safest options is to eat at restaurants, cafes, fast food chains restaurants. If you have a strong stomach, warungs and street stall are cheaper (and have a good variety of foods). Some actually clean…. But some are questionable. If you’re not sure, google for some review or just ask around. Restaurant, cafe, fast food restaurants usually has their own ice vendor who supplied them with (boiled water) ice so its safe :)
Ooof I understand the aversion. Years ago I went to a Vietnamese restaurant when I was just starting to come down with a stomach bug (I wasn’t sick yet when I went out), so I couldn’t eat Vietnamese food until recently! Happy I’m getting over it finally.
I feel bad for ur food poisoning, but u should still try indonesian food, maybe u should buy it from a big restaurant/cafe and not eat a spicy food, just to anticipate if you can't stand for spicy food, have a great day linda ❤❤❤
It’s 11:12pm in my country, now, after having dinner and lying in my bed ready to sleep, I really want to eat that pizza, I’m craving that pizza, I need it
Honestly I only git bali belly from the western food never the indo food, and I was there for two months. I would personally avoid meat though at the warungs haha.
I was in Ubud eating Gelato Secrets yesterday too! Haha so bad I didn't see you. I was following your guide to food in Bali and go to the placess you mentioned!
I used to love seafood, then on a trip to the US I got super sick, not sure if it was from food or just a stomach bug but because I'd recently eaten crawfish and shrimp, it's really tainted them for me 😭 it sucks, I can eat them now but it's not quite the same as before! Hope you find a dish which is a bit different and might not feel so off-putting
Tbh it's disappointing that you were in Bali and didn't spend more of your short series highlighting Indonesian food and ate like avocado toast I could get anywhere in the States. Like I get food poisoning sucks, but you still could've gotten delicious Indonesian food from restaurants or from room service. I've been to Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and ate at many restaurants there. I only got sick I think once in thailand but still wanted to eat authentic food and support local businesses. Plus I would rather eat hainanese chicken rice over avocado toast and mid looking croissants (I love croissants but you're in Indonesia and you eat that??? Why not local pastries?) any day.
I just went to Indonesia last month and the food is good but really spicy. I ate food mostly from the malls but still got diarrhoea. I always bring along my medicines for this reason. 😅
Don’t blame you, I wish more travelers got educated on how unsafe the food and water there can be, when I travel back to Indo I will usually drink charcoal pills before every meal just in case because my stomach isn’t strong enough
the chance of foreigners getting food poisoning after eating indonesian food is like 98%. its either bcs of the amount of spices that we use, or its bcs of the hygiene (esp if ur not eating in a proper restaurant). i can say that ur totally missing out but its ok better safe than sorry😅
it's really unfortunate that you got food poisoning, but i promise you there's a lot of other authentic local food and i can guarantee i haven't got any food poisoning eating them everyday lol. you are missing a lot
Big agree. Like Indonesian cuisine is more than nasi goreng and she could've tried so many different soups, curries, stews and satay or even the bread there if she wanted to avoid eating anything close to nasi goreng.
I totally understand about the indo food because I loved Chinese food and I got sick and ate a lot of it and now the thought of it makes me sick to my stomach 🥴🤢
