Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14562270 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 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 |

Quoting: Chaz Aldrin 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 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! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77547800 Chicken broth, ginger ale and plenty of rest... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77547800 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 MeanModine |

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. |
