Stomach Flu what do you do?
 

It’s going through our house. We use pepto and Imodium ad and sprite, crackers and chicken noodle soup.
What do you people use? Any amazing secrets?

Don’t shit your pants , all I got .

Sleep in the bathroom..

For some reason, when I'm sick, it's the only time I get 7up instead of Sprite.

Take enough nighttime medicine that you sleep through the entire illness.

This is what my husband does. He munches on chips and OJ for whatever time he wakes up...lol.

Camp out in the bathroom at Kohl’s.

What kind. I would think it would be hard to keep down

For kids, I'm not sure. NyQuil or Benedryl maybe? Lol For adults, a Hot Toddy has been a "remedy" for many years. I would imagine booze of any kind works, if you can keep it down.

Its Squirt for upset tummies, you neanderthals.

Sleep.

Not everyone is in the mood for that when fighting a stomach bug.

Sprite, Banana popsicles, and faith that it will soon pass!

Chicken noodle soup, Sprite

Antifreeze

Ginger capsules. Or any ginger ale that actually has ginger (not sure if any of them do anymore). Then pedialyte when you can tolerate it.

Suffer through it.

I had the absolute worst stomach flu in 2019. It started out with a fever and body aches, but soon turned into vomiting. The fever, body aches, and vomiting subsided, but then came the diarrhea. Let me tell you... There's nothing quite like drinking various colors of Gatorade only to watch those same colors come firing out my ass at warp speed only a few moments after drinking it.

Horrible.

I had a stomach bug with a horrible cough right after Thanksgiving. You ever tried to clench your butthole while having a coughing fit? It can't be done.

RIP Nike sweat pants. You put up a good fight.

Seriously, I would pay at least $300 each year for a vaccine that would keep you from getting the stomach flu.
Think about it.. If you were shitting like a mad man and throwing up your guts and someone said "For $300, I can make that stop" wouldn't you gladly pay them???

Had it last week. The power drink at the gas stations called C4.

Puke
Piss out my ass
Go through 3 rolls of tp and 2 packs of baby wipes

Supportive therapy is all you can do. No need to take Immodium if you're at home (and you should be). Hydrate with something that will replenish your electrolytes and give you some calories, and eat relatively bland foods. There isn't evidence for the BRAT diet.


Also, there is no such thing as the stomach flu. The flu is a respiratory virus. You probably have a norovirus. Suffer through and remember that it should be short-lived.

The 7up/Sprite wive's tale remedy...

Like "Here, kid have a bunch of sugar water. It'll help with the shitting."

There's nothing you can do, really. Just try as hard as you can to keep hydrated so you don't get even sicker. Other than that, you just have to wait it out.

Would semen help? When you look at the breakdown of nutrients it has its hard to argue there's something better to ingest

Squirt? Isn't that what you do when you have a stomach bug?

I'd say 7-up however it was sugar not HFCS back in the day. And Premium Saltines, not the cheap kind.

Add some good peanut butter (crunchy only) to the crackers once you can stand it.

Blackberry brandy. A bottle of it.

My daughter had it last year and puked all over me, then it went through my house like the Rage virus from 28 Days Later. Laid on the couch for about 36 hrs trying to not shit my pants and throw up on myself. Nothing really worked.

I drink 2 packets of liquid iv every day and take 2 airborne w/elderberry. Haven’thad the flu in a few years. If it gets bad, ginger ale and spiced rum.
But the best is to stay away from you sick ****s.
sec

We've got flu running through our house. Ive barely been out of bed in the last 24 hours. All 3 of my daughters have it. I had to take my middle child to the ER for it on Sunday, because I've never seen her that sick. I can't remember being this sick ever since I've been an adult.

Fever, extreme body aches, cough, headache. I've never been so sore in my life.

Yep, flu doesn't make you puke. I don't think I've ever had the actual flu before, unless I had it when I was a kid and this is miserable.

Sec just died of dysentery

This is correct. The vomit makes you puke.

I think squirt is what he’s trying to avoid..

Activated Charcoal Capsules. Your welcome

consume the vomit and diarrhea to regain the nutrients lost from expelling said substances from your body


you'll feel amazing later on


feel free to thank me now

Not much you can do but treat the symptoms once you have it besides eat light foods and drinks, and get plenty of sleep

The real trick is not getting a full blown case in the first place, and to that I end I'll tell you my secret for not getting anything worse than a minor case of the sniffles thats gone on a day or two at worst

When covid first hit the guidance was that vitamins C, D, and Zinc could go a long way to minimizing the worst of it, so I for the past 4 years I've taken 2000mg of C, 50mcg of D, and 50mg of Zinc RELIGIOUSLY with breakfast every single morning... and as I said, I've never had anything worse than mild sniffles in all those years since

An ounce of prevention > pound of cure

I honestly cannot stand the taste of 7up or Sprite because my Dad used to dish it out like a gospel miracle cure if we got sick. Got food poisoning from a crab cake once and every orifice turned into a two way interstate. Can't even look at them to this day without a gag reflex.

Rather have to give oral sex to every member of The View under the table without something to cleanse my pallet in-between rounds than ever look at breaded crab again.

Hope that helped your stomach Mr. Wizard. I'm here to help. :thumb:

Shit it out is pretty much all you can do. Besides that hydrate and smoke plenty of weed.

You just made me sick, thanks! :Lin:

Flu is worse than covid for sure

Me?

I usually puke a lot.

(Eww, just thinking about it makes me...........Oh, gotta go........)

ginger ale, sleep and hydration. I had that last year from some spring rolls I bought at Costco, it sucked but got over it after 2 days.

Pedialyte or Gatorlyte whichever you like better along with the things you mentioned.

Hot wings. Burns the bad shit right out of you.

And Fiber O's. Make that shit nice n hearty.

Bone broth soup and ivermectin.

Have you tried this? I know someone who swears by ivermectin

Please explain mechanism of action

I usually lay on the side of the bed closest to the bathroom and wait for relief or death.

gatorade and rest

This is what I drink Pedialyte or any of the adult versions. they are not so full of glucose like Gatoraids. Don't use anti-diarrheal as it tends to dehydrate you. Fill the bowl with your water ass. You want whatever caused it out of you. Oh, and this is important, tp-butt wipes- paper and plastic grocery bags work but inspect for holes first when it comes out both barrels you want to remain seated.

Ivermectin has been given to humans more than 3 billion times!

I know most of us are conditioned to call it the "stomach flu", but as pointed out earlier in the thread it's not actually the flu.

I had a bout of this a couple of months ago that was so bad I couldn't sit up or stand up without barfing. I was flat on my back unless I was drinking Gatorade or destroying a bathroom. Then 24 hours later it was gone.
