I have a sickness bug

10 replies

I picked up from holiday in Butlins. Started vomiting at 4:30pm and feel terrible.

Just want some advice really

I have water lemonade and lucozade

Which is best to drink? Or if I stop drinking will I stop being sick?

I've been sick twice since I last drank anything, desperately just want it to stop

My 2yo is being put to bed by her dad but I feel so guilty as she keeps crying for me but I feel so sick

Poor you. I think little sips of water is best

Hope you are feeling better soon. Dad and child will be fine. Take care

I know it sounds awful but it's better out than in. Drink water or flat lemonade or even better flat coca cola if you have it and you can face it.

Once the sickness has calmed down try the brat diet until you are fully better.

I hope you are soon well.

Poor you!

I'd go for plain water.

But if you prefer something with a bit of taste, then lemonade or flat lucozade.

If you have any extra strong mints (or other non-chocolate mints) that might help - peppermint is quite soothing and takes the awful taste away

Small sips of water frequently will help minimise the nausea. Don’t feel you have to overdo it or eat anything if you’re not up to it. Try slightly bigger sips of water when you’re not feeling too bad to see if your stomach manages this. We usually have dry crackers eg Ritz too for when we’re on the mend.

Stomach bugs are absolutely awful, I dread them. Hope you feel better soon, and please don’t feel too bad about your little one - sometimes we have to prioritise our own health and she’s just fine with your DH! X

Thanks everyone, I stopped being sick around 11pm thank god. Feel fragile this morning, hoping it doesn't start up again

Warm lemonade is what I would have suggested. Glad you're feeling a bit better op x
