Have you got rehydration salts?

I took imodium last week for the first time after a day of diarrhoea. It backed me up and I ended up vomiting five days later! Sometimes I think drugs can make problems worse. Maybe your body needs to get rid of a bug or something. Perhaps it would be worth having a word with your practice nurse?

Flat coca cola (the full fat variety) can also help with rehydration - a doctor told me this when I was in hospital with dehydration during pregnancy!

i would go to the dr-flat 7-up is good for rehydration-pour some into a glass and then poour into another glass a few times to flatten it-hope you feel better soon you poor thing
