Moms and Kids who had stomach flu
I am posting here because I know a number of you guys had the stomach flu going around lately..
Last week I had a sinus infection and was given an antibiotic that ended up eating all the good bacteria in my body, leading me to get a stomach infection. I was so dehyrdated I ended up in the hospital last nite with naseousness, dizzyness, diaherra, so sever the last 48 hrs i feel like im dying..
i was finally able to go home..and they can give me is instructions to drink gatorade and lite food and ride it out..
can anyone recommend anything else? can i take immodium or something? i read online it is a bad idea to take pepto..
can anyone recommend something that worked for them..please...

Eat yogurt! I know it sounds GROSS right now, but it will help replace some of the "good" bacteria.
Hang in there!

The BRAT diet:
Banana
Rice
Apple
Toast
Start with a little banana, see how you feel, then slowly add the rest when you're up to it.
Gatorade, Crackers. No Dairy
Feel Better soon!
