Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Oh oh ohhh!! I'm an expert on this one! ;o) It's a cycle, the problem is that you are experiencing inflammation. The inflammation causes you to vomit, then when you vomit it causes MORE inflammation. Eat or drink absolutely nothing for about six hours. Then SLOWLY take very small sips of water, preferably warm. You'll likely want something cold to drink but that's bad. Clear liquids only until you have kept everything down for a couple of days then graduate to protein shakes and such. If you start getting symptoms of dehydration you'll need to go to an ER and get some IV fluids, IV decadron, and IV Zofran. That will end the cycle and you'll be good to go again. I'd avoid warm teas because the caffeine is not nice to your (already) inflammed stomach. > > This is now day three and I have not been able to keep any thing down > I had gone out to dinner on Tuesday and ate to much food now I can > only take in fluids and even that is hard to get down.
