Help needed if Possible

[Glammanana]

This morning started with a dash to the bathroom where I was really poorly projectile sickness for a good few minutes also from tummy and it has continued all day, do any of you have any fast cures for this kind of thing as I would like to go back to work to-morrow if possible,I honestly think it is the result of Thai Fishcakes I had for tea last night and they where well in date
for freshness 11/11th just need to feel better in any way. xxx

Do you have any Imodium type tablets perhaps left over from holidays. They are usually a quickish fix though not the best way. I remember one doctor telling patients to take an initial double dose and then follow the instructions. I think you are supposed to be better drinking lots of fluid to flush any bugs out of your system. Hopefully you may have got rid of the bugs by now with all the vomiting.

Thanks so much Shem I have sent John round to the chemist to get me some I just couldn't remember what to use.

Hope it clears up soon Glamma. Drinking plenty of water shuold help to flush it out of your system.

There is an orange drink that replaces the what the body is losing. Imodium will help.

You can buy Dioralyte rehydration packs or just drink flat lemonade or make your own mixture up adding a bit of juice/squash to make it more palatable.

1. Six (6) level teaspoons of Sugar.
2. Half (1/2) level teaspoon of Salt.
3. One Litre of clean drinking or boiled water and then cooled - 5 cupfuls (each cup about 200 ml.)

Someone once recommended tonic water to me for a tummy bug probably caused by something I'd eaten. If you can eat, bananas are also supposed to be good because they replace some of the minerals your body has lost. If it's not really essential for you to go in to work, would you be better taking it easy at home, in the warmth, and resting. Hope you feel better soon. xx

Hate to be a killjoy but you should be 48 hours clear before returning to work.Thats a health & safety perspective on it.

I think I will take your advice LG and have to-morrow off as well as,I have taken the Imodium and seem to be feeling better and have slept all afternoon with no bathroom trips which is a bonus.thanks ladies xxx

[Shemadee]

Better to stay at home so you don't pass on any virus, if it is a bug. Also better for you to rest up and not leave yourself vulnerable to other bugs that may be floating around.

Good idea Glamma, stay home, look after yourself, and don't pass it around!
I hope you feel much better soon xx

I'm impressed by how much advice members have give this afternoon

[Nana]

Hope you're continuing to feel better Glam.

I'm feeling so much better this morning I slept most of yesterday and dosed up on Imodium and drank loads of water,it must have been the Fish Cakes for it to come on so quickly and the fact John never had any makes me more sure of them being the culprit.Nasty !!! Thanks ladies for all the advice as I went brain dead as to how to deal with the problem. xxx

[Nanto2girls]
