blind_otter Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I think I have food poisoning. OR the stomach flu. Whatever. I puked so much yesterday. SO MUCH. I threw up an inordinate amount. More than any food I ate. What kind of food are you supposed to eat when you're all sickly? I forget. It's been like over a year since I've had any kind of vicious stomach malady. And I smoke reefer too often to have a short term memory. Link to post Share on other sites
Yamaha Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Drink lots of fluids. If you are heaving you are losing body fluids and to much can be medically risky. I don't know about foods ( maybe soups or things you can keep down ) but be sure to drink fluids when you are vomiting or have diarrhea. Link to post Share on other sites
slubberdegullion Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Yamaha is right; gotta keep your fluid levels up lest you risk dehydration. Fruit juice is good, as long as it's not too acidic. Maybe some unsalted crackers for a little bulk, or some white bread. And go see a doctor, fercryinoutloud. Link to post Share on other sites
Outcast Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 If you've lost a lot of fluid, your electrolytes will need topping up. Here's two recipes for homemade electrolyte replacement drinks: one 2-quart envelope of unsweetened Kool-Aid (I used Lemonade), 8 tablespoons of sugar, and one-half teaspoon of salt. Divide this 4 ways, and then use one of the parts per water bottle. Worked great for me, you get the sodium you need, and the Kool-Aid adds the flavoring. Basic Fluid Replacement Recipe 1-cup cold water 1-cup fruit juice (apple or orange)* 1 teaspoon sugar or honey 1 pinch of salt Mix, chill, and enjoy! *One cup of apple or orange juice has about 26-30 grams of carbohydrate. Keep in mind that not all fruit juices contain the same amount of carbohydrate, so read the labels when you want to try a new flavor. Just remember to keep the total carbohydrate level to about 14 grams per 8oz. Link to post Share on other sites
scobro Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 The last thing you want to do when you feel like this is to start making a recipe for something.If you want to replace electrolytes get a sports drink like gatorade or powerade.If you can't stomach solid food yet get some meal replacement shakes.

Outcast Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I was assuming she felt too ill to go shopping. This is the homemade version of gatorade and the like. Link to post Share on other sites
whichwayisup Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I hope you're feeling better today. DO sip water and get gatoraid too. Dry toast, flat gingerale, mashed pototoes. CRAP. Stands for: Carrots, rice, apples, potatoes. (That is what I do when I am sick with an upset tummy etc...) Sleep as much as you can and definately see the DR if you are spiking a fever too.

alphamale Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Basic Fluid Replacement Recipe 1-cup cold water 1-cup fruit juice (apple or orange)* 1 teaspoon sugar or honey 1 pinch of salt Mix, chill, and enjoy! why not just buy some Gatorade instead? Its the same thing and probably cheaper than buying a tin of fruit juice and a bottle of honey and the a bottle of good H2O and then sitting there mixing the wholde damn thing together while you're pukeing your guts out actually the Chinese have a new remedy for G.I. problems. Take some coca-cola and boil it with fresh ginger and then drink it hot. Link to post Share on other sites
lilmoma1973 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Blind otter , i remember that post you made about your boobs getting big and burning now you are throwing up !!are you sure you aren't preggo ? You stopped taking the pill now you got all these symptoms .. Is it possible? Just a guess!! i know these were my symptoms when i was preggo!! Link to post Share on other sites
Outcast Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 why not just buy some Gatorade instead? Just figured she might have juice and salt and water in her house thereby not having to drive, puking, to the store to buy, puking, the Gatorade. Link to post Share on other sites
whichwayisup Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 That's what neighbours are for. Call one of your neighbours to go get ya afew things from the store. Or call your mom/sister... Link to post Share on other sites
Author blind_otter Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 HAH. I call the most recent exboyfriend. He brought me soup, gatorade, and 2 seasons of sex in the city, which he hates but knows that I watch when sick (it's like valium for me in visual form. all those shoes. ridiculous clothes, but loverly shoes.) He hung out for a bit and tucked me in. He keeps calling to check up on me. He is trying to wiggle back into the nook. Link to post Share on other sites

He loves me, he even pretended not to notice the faint odor of vomit. He called me just now to tell me he was brining me butternut squash bisque from my favorite restaurant. I love him. When I get better he's getting a blowjob at least. Link to post Share on other sites
alphamale Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 . When I get better he's getting a blowjob at least. thats mighty white of you B_O.... trading soup for sex... so if I brought you a filet mignon would i get anal? Link to post Share on other sites
whichwayisup Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I personally would never do that for an ex-g/f. You would if she was really sick alpha. I know you aren't into the nicey nice thing with the Ex's, but she's still a suffering human being. YOU are saying you'd turn your back on someone very sick because she's an ex? You wouldn't go out of your way to drop off some soup if she called you? (Ofcourse, depending on the circumstances on how it ended)...Otherwise she wouldn't be calling you in the first place.

alphamale Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 YOU are saying you'd turn your back on someone very sick because she's an ex? Yep, this is what i am saying.... i don't even stay in touch with ex's. Link to post Share on other sites
