Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 , Yes, avoid them as much as you can, you can also try and prevent getting it by making sure you are healthy. My personal experience is that when I start to get something I start taking extra vitamin C and drinking orange juice and I make sure I am eating healthy. The healthier you are the harder it is for the virus to get to you. With my 3 kids I really can't get sick so I try and fight the first symptoms. Everybody does seem to be sick these days, Take care of yourself!!! Nina > > Don't woory I don't have....yet.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 If he can keep the medicine down for 1 1/2 to 2 hrs, his stomach will have emptied. Otherwise, there is not much to do unless some antiemetic (emetrol) can prevent the vomiting long enough to keep the meds down. Bonnie > > Last night, both my OCD son and I came down with a horrible stomach flu and have been eating ice chips and a little rice ever since to calm our stomachs down. My question is, what do you do when the kids can't keep their meds down? He literally lost his Risperdal last night and I didn't dare give him his Paxil on a sick, empty stomach. Any words of wisdom? Thanks. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hi all, Please help. We are on day 3 of the stomach flu with our son. He isn't throwing up as much but I'm not sure what to do? As for diet and drink, we know what we are doing. But why is he still throwing up. I'm wondering if this just the natural course of this particular stomach virus or if his undiagnosed underlying issues are making the sickness worse. The other kids on the block " recovered " after one day. They are older. I also stopped our enzymes and don't know if I should have or when to start again. I would think the enzymes would not be a good idea with a inflamed stomach. He is so gassy and won't pass a stool . He is not dehydrated. Also stopped probiotics. Is this wise? When should I start them again. Also wondering if ViraStop by Enyzmedica would help. Thanks gwen son-3 SCD for digestive issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I recently had the stomach flu. It was a nasty virus here. The vomiting didn't last that long, but fever and run down feeling and not able to eat lasted at least 3-4 days. What helped me, once I could keep things down, was getting some vitamin C into me (the buffered type will be easier on an empty stomach). And salty liquids like broth. I tried probiotics, but that disagreed with me. I don't know about using Virastop with the flu. Maybe others have opinions on that. -- > > Hi all, > > Please help.

What helped me through it was Chamomile tea and ginger ale. Just take sips though, one or two every 15 to 20 minutes until you think you can handle more. Also, adding the ginger ale to water helps, since it adds a little flavor to the water. Just don't drink a lot at once even if you're thirsty because it won't stay down. Later, Jello and apple sauce are great, but start with just a very little like with the water. AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at AOL.com.
