Best suggestion. Keep a barf bucket (lined) by the bed.

You probably have done this.

Ginger ale. It helps settle the stomach. Green tea. Saltine crackers.

Ginger ale (with ginger) he can't keep it down, maybe I can find a ginger supplement. Saltines / Green tea I'll definitely grab, heading to store soon will keep checking back. Thank u
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77547800


If he can't keep anything down, you need to give his stomach a break. You rehydrate slowly. A teaspoon. If he keeps it down for 30 mins, give another teaspoon.

His stomach is constantly feeling nauseated because it never gets a break.

If the ER didn't give him IV fluids when you went, he's okay.

GOOD ADVICE !

Each test should stay down for half hour before the next

When the body wants to be empty - it will be empty!!!

Charcoal capsules can STOP DIARRHEA and soaks up poisons including radiation (for future reference)

They sell in with all the supplements

Ginger ale has two things that settle the stomach

Ginger
Sugar
Go slow

Saltine crackers are for the SALT to replace lost
Minerals

There are packets of minerals and electrolytes that replace the ones lost and balance the system

If its what my family just got over..... the worst is the first 24 to 30 hours. couldnt keep anything in the stomach. keep the water going in slowly.

This stomach bug past through here about 3 weeks ago and affected alot of families. ( OKC / central OK )

It was a slow recovery also dont get in a hurry to start eating spicy foods. Use the opportunity to correct your diets and stick to meats vegies and fruit. Throw out all the junk food and sugar.

Florida here, hoping it doesn't spread, grabbing more sanitizer while I'm out. He is always the one who gets sick, once better I'm going to start him on elderberry and hope it helps some. Glad you guys got over it, my son is sooo miserable, but better than yesterday.

I had to take him to e.r. overnight, the prescribed zofran? I asked about using emetrol and they said prescription meds are better (b.s. he is still writhing in pain, temporarily stops nausea but nothing more). I heard about pure grape juice but that could be for prevention, have any of you used Manuka honey?? Any suggestions will help. Thank You!

Chicken broth, ginger ale and plenty of rest...

Jesus Christ is the only way to Salvation.
1 Corinthians 1611 AV KJ Bible
Chapter 15
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

lots of fluids even if he yaks it up

dehydration is painful and weakens the immune system

chicken or veggie broth and oyster crackers is good way to keep hydrated--and a tiny bit of nutrition

best to you and yours

I agree, but add that a tablespoon of jello in a room temperature glass of water given by teaspoon helps hydrate and keep the belly down.
