Better than gatorade with all that sugar and colour and stuff that's so hard to tolerate, get elite electrolyte drops and put in his water! And when I feel like that, room temperature water is too cold. My tummy prefers water that's almost as hot as tea.
Sounds like a terrible case of gastroenteritis! Keep those liquids coming and try to ride it out.
Lisa, your combination definitely wins! OUCH!!My one case of food poisoning was pretty similar, except that my stomach didn't stop when it was empty. I have an unnatural fear of vomiting now as the dry heaves are sooooo horrible! I've been told, though, that food poisoning can occur anywhere from a few hours to 3 days after the offending food is eaten. I wonder if that's true.
Hopefully you all get well super soon,

Well, one thing I can say for gatorade and saltines...they make their round trip with ease!!!![]()
I had gone 4 stable hours...but that just changed.

So, now I'm on Propel...I'm allegic to tea...and my body seems to be favoring cold rather than hot.
Ironically, I feel decent right now...just achey with the chills.
You can see from my blog that I had quite a dinner last night at Bonefish Grill...shrimp, steak, salad, veggies...I was so good, I even told the waitress to take the bread away (along with temptation). But with all that heavy food, it just made the 'morning incidents' miserable to say the least.![]()

you'll be all right mr silver, just don't be in such a rush to eat. The clear food diet lets your guts calm down before you dump more solids on them.
Mr. Silver,
I had the flu last weekend (along with a nasty sinus infection) and I'm still feeling weaker than normal. I hate to tell you that my stomach is still a little iffy after I eat "real" food.
Hope you enjoy Arizona and go for a hike up Camelback if you're in Phoenix. Good luck!

Don't rush to eat is good advice. I was starving and did, paid for it with another day of horrible stomach cramps. The stomach virus I had last summer lasted 4 days. Only the nasty part one day, but cramping stomach and a feelign of nausea for the other three.
I was told by my doctor to steer clear of gatorade because the sugar could just aggrevate the cramping.

Bananas are a good food to eat when starting solids again after a stomach bug. A doctor recommended this when my kids had a terrible bout of tummy flu it worked a charm.
Hope you are feeling better soon.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Gee, WHen it occurred to me that electrolyte supplements would be good, i thought, now I'll finally get to try all the expensive powders that DH has been buying. I went to the cupboard, and the only kind in there was gatorade![]()
I was disappointed. I wanted to try the fancy stuff.. but Gatorade was better than the chicken boullion DH insisted I drink. barf.. it wasn't even real chicken!!!!
