Lots of clear fluids (like water, apple juice, tea (no milk))  and time.  Rest alot and in time it will pass.  the fluids will help you to not become dehydrated and it will help to flush out your system too.  \n\nGet well soon  :(

Definitely ginger tea and saltines.  Drinking a cup of chicken boullion tends to help me with an upset stomach.

try chicken noodle soup and going to your doctor. the doctor would probably write you a prescription for antibiotics if it's bacterial. if the flu strain you have is viral (a virus) then you can take over the counter products to help with the symptoms. a virus has to run its course, as there are no cures for viruses.

REST, fluids, vicks, a vaporizor w/ vicks in it, fluids, rest and did I mention fluids?  \n\nAnother thing I love using when I get sick is garlic.  I take a garlic clove and slice it into pill size slivers and swallow like a pill.  That backed up w/ Vitamin C and zinc and you should be back on your feet in no time.  The garlic kills the virus and the vitamin c and zinc boost your immunities.

Cook something. Scream into a pillow. Watch tv. Breathe. Call another friend. Mediate. Do anything that will keep you from vomiting.

Unfortunately, with the stomach flu there is not alot you can do to make a person better except time because it is usually a virus that causes it. However, keeping things clean, washed, and killing as many germs as you can...can help stop the passing it around. Wash your dishes in hot water (I would say at least over 110 degrees or more), any linens and clothes exposed to the germs that can be washed in hot water need to be washed in hot water as well. You can also add Pine Sol or Lysol (there is a concentrated version that can go in the laundry) to the load to help disinfect. Use of the antibacterial hand gels also help prevent spread of germs. When I started working in a hospital, they have antibacterial foam containers all over the walls so that we can all use it from one room to another to help prevent spread of germs. I started using the gels at home, and we have cut our sickness in HALF, and I work at a hospital now. You would think we would be sick MORE, but we are not. =)\nGood luck with your flu problem and hope you feel better soon. =)

First don't take any type of medications, unless you really need to lower you temp.  Medications just mask the fever and don't do anything to help your body get over the fever.  Your body raises its temperature for a reason and that is to fight off the infection, so a fever, I know it is uncomfortable, is actually a good thing for your body.\nSecond make sure you drink lots of orange juice and chicken noodle soup.  The orange juice serves two functions.  First it provides vitamin C which helps your immune system which builds white blood cells to fight the infection.  Second it helps flush your body of the infection when you actually go to the bathroom.  The chicken noodle soup helps in the same way, but I don't remember whats in it, but it has been shown to help the body recover quicker.

Make yourself sick and throw up. Once your stomach is empty, get sick again....THEN, you will find bile. YUCK!

Try putting an inch of apple cider vinegar in water with sea salt or honey and sip continually all day long like coffee or water.  I once did this when I had upset stomach and diarrhea..did for 10-12 hours and by night, I was well enough to go to the play I had tickets for.\n\nAlso try Dr. Richard Schulze's super tonic\n\nhttp://healingtools.tripod.com/supertonic.html\n\nhttp://www.800herbdoc.com/p49.asp\n\nalso recommended--http://healingtools.tripod.com/DS_pages.ht(copied from the last link--\n\nDiarrhea -\nHerbal Formula:\n\nAloe Vera Gel\n\nActivated Charcoal Powder\n\nSlippery Elm Gruel\nSpecific Protocol:\n\nDIARRHEA\nGastric Distress:\nHerbal Formula:\n\n\nLobelia Seed Pod Tincture\n\nGinger Root Tea\n\nGinger Root Tincture\n\nActivated Charcoal Slurry\nSpecific Protocol:\n\nGASTRIC DISTRESS/NAUSEA/VOMITING

Hi - I felt like this when I had gastric flu, ended up so dehydrated I had to go to hospital, think you need to see a doc. If there are no docs open, try a Pharmacy or even A&E. Hope you feel better soon xx

Tamiflu will help you if you start taking at the fist signs of a flu.  Mostly, you'll need to just rest and treat your symptoms.  Drink plenty of liquids.  Also, unless you are alergic, you should get a flu shot every year.

Room temperature, no question. Ginger ale at room temperature helps settle the stomach. The first thing to do when you feel a nausea type cold is get your fever down. With fans, ice and as soon as possible tylenol, not aspirin

As far as I know, never. Viruses don't attack the stomach. What most people think of as a 'stomach virus' is a case of bacterial infection in the gastrointestinal tract. Food poisoning is especially common, and you can get this hundreds of times. As always, it's good practice to monitor your temperature. If it goes above 101 F, you might want to see a doctor.

There is no "cure" for the flu or gastro-enteritis.  These illnesses must run their course.  However, to help with the symptoms:\nmaintain hydration (fluids are important to prevent dehydration).  Choose an electrolyte solution such as ORS (oral rehydration solution), pedialyte or gatorade\ntylenol for fever\nthe "brat diet" may also minimize symptoms (bananas, rice, applesauce and tea)

In addition to aloe vera, the "old-time" recipe used vinegar which by the way is ascetic acid and will kill any bacteria and it's sootheing if you don't mind smelling like a salad.  Ibuprophen and asprin (I'm in favor of asprin myself) will definitely reduce the fever in the area.  Take both with food to prevent irritation of your stomach.  You could take two tylenol and two asprin every 4-6 hrs. at the same time and drink a glass of iced tea.  The cafeine will also help increase the medications ability to decrease pain.  No hot baths and lots of water and rest.  Loose clothing too.  Hope you feel better.
