Posted by: luvbug00 Feb 2 2011, 09:03 AM

As some of you know from FB I got really sick the day after my birthday (sunday). Like spend the entire day with a pillow and blanket in the bathroom.
then sunday i was still queezy but it was better. well it stayed the same mon and tuesday, unsettled but tolerable. However last night i woke up at 3am and I was back over the commode

and queezy still.

any stomach settling ideas?
home remedies?

i'd rather not take super strong meds..

I don't know. I think the stomach flu just needs to do its thing. Ginger helps with nausea tho, and maybe a probiotic to replace your unhappy gut flora?

thanks ladies the ginger idea is working good.

My moms friend said she had this bugger for a week. I'm on day 4 so hopefully it will be gone by the weekend.
