Re: Tummy Bug
Tiff, you say you get this from time to time, but is your doctor aware of this, and has it been diagnosed properly?These tummy things can be so many things, from a simple tummy upset from something you've eaten, to all sorts of other things.
I'm afraid I don't agree with Swim saying ' think of the weight loss' as this is not just a one-off from what you say - that is the difference. You shouldn't keep on getting a tummy bug!
Not sure Ibuprofen is the best thing either, as that alone aggravates some people's tummy's, same as Aspirin can, unless you take something like Omoprazole too.
I had tummy problems a while back, and the hospital told me not to take Ibuprofen or Aspirin , but unless you get a diagnosis you don't know if you are doing the right thing or aggravating it more.
I do agree with what Art said though, and no food for 24 hrs, but stay hydrated with plenty of water to flush everything though.
Hope you soon feel on the mend.

last time I had a tummy bug was when I caught Norovirus at Christmas 3 years ago and spent a night on the bathroom floor wrapped in a duvet to weak to go back to bed <<shudders>>

I do take Imodium & that usually fixes it, but this time I let it be as I wasn't going anywhere.

Re: Tummy Bug
Tiffany - how are you today?Given that we are in lock down and, therefore, not going anywhere - I would not take patent medicines at all. Working on the 'better out then in' principle I would let it run it's course and go. Stay hydrated - when it it eases off try a little plain boiled rice with plain yoghurt, If it lasts more than 24 to 36 hours seek medical advice.
Annie - re washing meat etc., - the NHS and FSA both say don't!
