kernow Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Guys, I seem to have picked up a bout of food poisoning or a 24 hours bug (hopefully that's all) and am being sick initially every hour but now after about 4 hours. I'm not even trying to eat food, but I am trying to stay hydrated. My wife has some funny ideas, such as Coke being good to settle your stomach. Well, it doesn't help to settle mine, but it does taste better than bile when you're being sick.So, if you're vomiting - drink Coke tastes nice, both going down and coming up!

unreformed66 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Try Sprite or 7-Up instead. It's not so acidic when you blow it out your nose while bazooka-barfing! Hope you get to feeling better soon. I'd rather get punched in the fact than throw up. I just HATE throwing up....

kernow Posted December 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 When I was at sea in the Royal Navy I used to suffer from sea sickness. I'd eat strawberry jam sandwiches for the same reason: they taste good on the way back up too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revere Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 I got salmonella when I was home for Thanksgiving. It was awful!I soldiered through and didn't eat for 50 hours. After I was able to keep liquid down, gatorade was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kernow Posted December 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Glad you are feeling better, You don't want there to be a "next time" !!!! Thanks, I don't. But I have a feeling there may well be a next time. I seem to have a week stomach. Maybe I should try to kill it with alcohol, it's working with my liver!
