I am currently in the throws of a vomiting stomach bug with pretty intense cramps. I find having a bug quite distressing and I'm struggling, particularly with actually vomiting.

Please share any remedies you have? Or anything that could help? Im desperate!

I have found 7up to help in the past. You need to leave it go a bit flat first. I don’t know if it does much, but it makes vomiting slightly less unpleasant. I have also had people recommend flat Coca Cola and bananas in the past, but I haven’t tried those 2 myself.
Bland foods if you can manage it. Dry toast, boiled rice.
Make sure you try and replace fluids lost.
I hope you feel better soon. Flowers

Small dip of water every 5 minutes can keep you hydrated - main priority

I would say, no need to eat unless you are actullay hungry. I have gone 48 hours with out eating when I had a bug. I wasnt hungry so knew best not to eat. I would drink gingerale....that was always my cure all of tummy aches etc. But I use dyrolyte for the kids. Tiny sips. Hate how they put sweeteners in the sodas now, ruined the taste! I never really drank soda, maybe once or twice a year! But now, never bc they taste horrible.
