I've been hit with a horrible stomach flu involving lots of vomiting. I don't think going to the doctors will do much, so is there any way to treat this or lessen the symptoms with home remedies? Thanks.

Re: How to Treat Stomach Flu?
I'd say drink water and eat toast, but you'll just throw that up too.

Re: How to Treat Stomach Flu?
Thanks. I've been sipping water and ginger ale all day but it's not helping. I haven't eaten a thing all day either. Usually this helps me get over stomach viruses but nothing seems to be helping right now. I even had Alka Seltzer with no luck. This is the worst stomach flu I've had.
Maybe I'll have toast for dinner though, as I should eat something.My YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/gosjsharks14Comment

Re: How to Treat Stomach Flu?
How frequently are you throwing up? If I recall correctly, last time I had it I ALSO had strep (I think)....I remember throwing up literally every 15 minutes.Comment

Re: How to Treat Stomach Flu?
About every hour. I've literally spent about a third of the day in the bathroom. After I throw up, I'll feel better for a bit, then have to throw up again. I don't get it at all.
I'm trying to drink as many clear liquids as I could but it's tough when I can't hold it down. I just hope I don't start getting dehydrated too.My YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/gosjsharks14Comment

Re: How to Treat Stomach Flu?
Sleep as often as you can and just lay down, drink loooots of water/ginger ale/gatorade. Your going to pule it up more than likely anyway but it still helps and it wont make it taste as bad coming back up. Dont overate. Eat as much as you can but dont overdo it or else it willl just make it worse.
Eat toast and pretzels and soupComment

Liquids, Saltines, Banana.
I'm not a doctor or a nurse, but that is what I would suggest.Comment

Re: How to Treat Stomach Flu?
Had it a few weeks ago and Gatorade plus saltines had me feeling better fairly quickly.Comment

Re: How to Treat Stomach Flu?
You can try putting the gatorade/powerade in the freezer too to make some sorta slushy/slurpee type concoction if it helps you consume it slower and not shock the system.
Also, once you're able to keep anything down remember the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast)Wolverines Wings Same Old Lions Tigers Pistons Erika ChristensenComment

Re: How to Treat Stomach Flu?
I feel so much better today. Had a few pieces of toast last night and went to bed super early. I still haven't eaten much today. Only a banana and a bunch of Gatorade. I'll go easy on the appetite for the next few days.
It seems like the worst part is over. No more vomiting! That was the most sick I've ever been. It was horrible.
Thanks for your tips guys!My YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/gosjsharks14Comment

Re: How to Treat Stomach Flu?
water is the WORST thing you can drink when you suffer the stomach flu because it basically causes you to empty your insides. Gatorade is always the best solution in these cases
stick to breads. Toast, english muffins, corn bread, are recommended here. i highly advise you to not eat anything else but grain products.
I would also go to the doctor, while there is no true medication for the flu he could suggest some medication or over the counter product that can ease your pain and lessen your vomiting
I have had the Stomach flu many times. I get sick quite often due to my crappy immune system so i feel your pain
