Waht's the SUREFIRE way to get over this in 48 hrs, before I go away for the weekend? When do I know I can move beyond eating rice?
(no puking, just the other. I stupidly ate the "OK parts" of a bad apple on Monday.)
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 10 September 2008 21:06 (fifteen years ago) link
Surefire? Not possible. But a few hints...
Yeah, drink a lot of waterYou need to eat but you will probly puke (and the rest)Painkillers, antacid etc.If there's one hint I'd say, eat what you feel like - don't worry about nutrition, just whatever appeals. In my experience you're likely to keep it down.
Hope your weekend away doesn't revolve around food because it won't be high up on your favourite things for a while!

My husband was saying my bowels made such awful noises during the night.
I lost three kilos. SIGH. Not throwing up, only, y'know,... the runners. Urgh.
― stevienixed, Sunday, 2 November 2008 19:34 (fifteen years ago) link
Also, you don't know what it is: poisoning or stomach flu. Both have teh same symptoms. And what does it matter? In a couple of days it's (hopefully)- over. Take some Immodium Instant. (Which we didn't have during the weekend.) I only took Interol.
― stevienixed, Sunday, 2 November 2008 19:35 (fifteen years ago) link
Four kilos actually.
― stevienixed, Monday, 3 November 2008 12:22 (fifteen years ago) link
How much is a kilo? I lost half a stone last week.
And now, just when I thought i'd kicked it, the sodding thing is BACK.
Do any of those over the counter remedies actually work? I've always been taught to just sweat it out.
I thought it was a virus, but seeing how it's come back about 24 hours after eating very similar meal to what I ate about the same time period before the last one... I'm beginning to wonder if something in my fridge that I';m taking for granted is seriously off.
― post-apocalyptic time jazz (Masonic Boom), Monday, 3 November 2008 12:43 (fifteen years ago) link
here they recommend immodium (which stops the runners) and also enterol (which restores bowel flora (this is how we call it anyway)
i feel like utter shite. i'm hanging on the counter trying not to faint when serving customers. hard job to do. the other day in a shop i srsly thought i was gonna faint. but i asked for the loo and had a sitdown for a couple of minutes.

Food poisoning is the best calling-in-sick lie.
― rubisco (Abbott), Monday, 3 November 2008 21:07 (fifteen years ago) link
I also lost quite a bit of weight from a minor case of food poisoning. Perhaps as much as 7 or 8 lbs. In the past few years, I've kept slim because of two things 1)had my appendix out & didn't eat hardly anything for about days, and 2) food poisoning (possibly caused by eating a slice of pizza after not washing my hands after working on my motorcycle and having grease, oil and gasoline on my hands). When you do get better from food poisoning, food tastes SOO AWESOME and you only want to eat great, healthy organic foods like fruit and grains and really safe stuff, and not processed junk and meats. In the long run, make this a reason to eat healthier and safer.

I booked a band to play my Dj night last sunday. Singer showed up with food poisoning. He slept in the corner until it was his time to play. Then jumped up and rocked out. Then went home.
I was seriously impressed.

― Indiana Morbs and the Curse of the Ivy League Chorister (Dr Morbius), Friday, 21 August 2009 02:49 (fourteen years ago) link
Immodium is great but sometimes it's better to just let it flush out. Especially for children: before the age of six, no immodium as otherwise the bacteria stay inside the bowels.

So I'm not sure if this is food poisoning or not. I've had food poisoning a few times and I know how much it wrecks my guts.
But so far my stomach only ever hurts every now and then and it's in a very specific spot 2 inches above my belly button. I don't ever really feel nauseous but the big D just keeps coming. I assume the headaches, muscle aches, and occasional dizzyness are just side effects from dehydration? I'm going on day 3 now and hoping it disappears by tomorrow. Do I have swine flu?

Has anyone ever had food poisoning which resolved WITHOUT any barfing or diarrhea?
At 9 this morning I started to get that characteristic agonizing ache in my upper left gut, it escalated to where for about 8 hours I couldn't do ANYTHING but writhe in pain and try in vain to make something happen out of one end or the other. Then about an hour ago the pain abated... now it's just like a slight soreness.

Oatmeal is dead easy then. Don't get that microwave crap in packets; even regular "old fashioned" oats are microwaveable. 1.75:1 water to oats ratio (ymmv), pinch of salt, nuke three minutes; add a spoonful of butter, splash of milk, sweetener of choice, handful of dried fruit.

Brat diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, toast. But I also recommend psyllium husk which will help absorb liquid. Which you should be drinking a bunch of, regardless.

w/out the sauce?
― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Monday, 13 July 2015 21:12 (eight years ago) link

a splash of soy sauce or a little bit of olive oil for flavor? idk - i would say butter but since yr no butter you're on your own :)
