2 Words - Pepto Bismal.
Worked for me.... I think I went through 2 or 3 bottles though. It doesn't fix anything, just helps with the symptoms.
be careful with pepto though. But if you're gonna take it, pill is the way to go.
But aside from that, do what you are doing. Drink lots of water and just stay close to the bathroom...
Lots of water / pedalyte and PILL pepto!!!
You'll get dehydrated QUICK if you don't replentish yourself.
Also keep yourself covered but no electric blanket.
HEAT = MORE DEHYDRATION!
Best of luck
IT
Rice, Toast, Banannas (I don't buy this one but it's worked for many others) and Jello.
You do need to eat a bit by the afternoon. Try that combination.
Gatorade may actually be better than water too. Water tends to be hard on the stomach in these thngs. Plus you'll need the electos
I feel for you...I had it twice in 3 weeks in Amsterdam. I think that normally I wouldn't have gotten it the second time (V&D Mangerie) but my system was weak from the first one (shoarma!). I didn't want anything to eat for a couple of days so I drank gatorade but couldn't find any Pepto close to home in A'dam. Keep the fluids going so you don't get dehydrated.
I hope you get to feeling better soon!
I had a blast in the city, see ya next time.
Bad sushi?
i am trying to piece together the events that took place last night:
1) LJ makes final table
2) LJ gets two suckouts in a row
3) LJ looks for a dog to kick
4) LJ kicks the wall instead
5) Wall cracks
6) Oh shit!
7) Oh that's not shit!!!
Last year I got it bad and didn't get enough fluids overnight. I passed out in the morning and had to be taken to the ER.
Food will be fine later. Drink LOTS of fluids - Gatorade is better than water.
Orange Gatorade saved me when I had it. Good Luck.
thanks everyone for your comments!! i just got out of bed and am going to run down and grab some gatorade and maybe a banana.
I got food poisoning a couple years ago from the shrimp in shrimp lo-mein. I had it bad!!!! I went to the emergency room and they put to full bags of saline solution with benadryl into my veins. That fixed me up quite nice.
