> You're right, Jumpy. My pharmacist said it's going around -- he called it fast and furious. I'd gladly be sick a little longer if it weren't so furious. I'm feeling a lot better now. I was up all night last night and half the day today vomitting every 5 to 10 minutes... I think I still have a stomach, but I'm not sure :) I still have a fever and a headache and am not a big fan of eating right now, but all in all a lot better. Thanks again.

> JonYeah ... lots of people have it ... and I know you must feel horrible. These things might help:
Lots of fluids to keep from getting dehydrated ... Ginger Ale (Ginger has been proven to calm the stomach), Gatorade (has all the electrolytes you may have loss)
Bland, Soft diet ... soup, jello, toast
No diary products
Try not to use stuff like immodium that slows the gut down ... the vomiting and diarrhea is good to get rid of the bacteria and viruses
Only Pepto Bismol has an ingredent to bind toxins from bacterial ... you can take it if you need to
Get some restJumpy
Hope your better soon!
