Woken up with bad stomach - how likely am I to start puking?

As title really.

I feel sick but haven't been sick, it's all the other end. Might I escape without sick? I really REALLY hate vomiting...

Vomiting usually comes before the shits right? So if I've got the shits first then maybe I won't be sick?

I only ever do one or the other.

Do you have any loperamide? Take two with a glass of water.

No I don't have any, I always thought it was better to let it all out so to speak 🤢

Totally depends if you are usually sick as well .I'm all the other end if I get any bug even if all are puking around me .Buts that's me literally been sick a handful of times in my life .Quite envy others at times as I feel they are sick then feel better .
Drink loads and take care

In my experience if you’re doing to do both the vomiting starts first. Does anyone who lives near by have any lopermaide? Lots of water and nap if you can.

It is better to ‘let it out’.

Loperamide just helps it solidify into a more manageable poo.

Drink lots though. Flush it out.

I’d say you won’t puke. It’s obviously down further into your system. Just need to ride it out and try and get some rehydration meds down you, if you can get some!

Thanks all for the reassurance!

I've not had a stomach bug for about 15 years. Just rushed to toilet again but only a big fart came out which I'm taking as a good sign...

Singing the Mr Hanky song might help.

If nothing else it’ll make you laugh.
