sick bugs that last a long time?

I got it first a week ago today in the night. Then dd (4) on Monday morning and dp on Monday night in the night.

It's been a horrible bug, really strips you out, 'both ends' IYKWIM?

The thing is, they are both seeming better yesterday and today and are starting to eat again. But I can't face anything. I was still retching yesterday. I haven't today but my stomach is hot and sore. So I've lived on water for a week!

Anyone else had something like this? Any suggestions?

We have had things like that quite often - what do the nappies smell like or if they are older - their (sorry) poos?? It could be something like rotavirus which has a very distinctive smell (!!) and can take a while to clear as true to its name it can go in a cycle of vomiting, dihorrea, vomit etc until out of your system. 2 of mine have even had a night in hospital with it - more due to dehydration. If you/they are keeping down fluids dont worry too much. Could you try something like diaorylte to get the balance of salt/sugars back??? Best of luck

Dd didn't have any diarrhea with it, just two days of being sick. Dp was sick for 2 days but didn't manage to eat for about 4. But they're both fine now, it's only me left feeling like my stomach's lined with sandpaper ... Sad

pepsi max for me so far is the only relief. I've lost almost a stone.
