gastroenteritis - suggestions to ease symptoms?

So...while still recuperating from the flu that hospitalized me, I have now managed to come down with gastroenteritis. Feel terrible! GP prescribed some dioralyte to stop me getting dehydrated, but my tummy is so sore. Diarrhea has slowed a bit tonight, but I'm still pretty queasy, and feeling v sorry for myself.Sad

Cool boiled water and toast works for me but whatever you fancy. I think with gastro enteritis it has to run its course. I had it on Sunday night and got awful pains in top of tummy. You have my sympathies xxx

Diaralyte from the chemist to rehydrate you.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you, already doing that....minus the toast, couldn't face it and doc said not to eat anything anyway.
Chezziejo - how long before you felt better?
