Glad to here you are feeling better and on the mend, Mr S
But just one point here for all of you referring to stomach flu... the flu, or influenza "bug" does not have a strain that affects the tummy.
Almost all cases of tummy-bugs are cases of self-inflicted food poisoning where we have left food unrefridgerated for too long, or have not washed our hands before handling our food.
Its a reality of being human, and sometimes we get away with feeling a little squiffy, and sometimes it is full-blown nastiness.
Of course, how we treat ourselves after the initial symptoms pass affects how well we recover too... Vomiting and/or diarrhea leaves our whole system compromised for 36-72 hours...
Wishing you all strong stomachs
