Author Topic: Got the Stomach Flu  (Read 1344 times)

Never in my entire life have I felt like absolute crap. It all started yesterday, after eating a good bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats, I went to school. My stomach was cramping at around 3rd period but I didn't take too much notice of it. It wasn't until 8th period that it got absolutely WORSE. 8th period was Health and we were discussing about food-borne illnesses (the irony) until my stomach started to punch itself. I asked to go to the bathroom, went up to my health teacher's desk, while my teacher was filling out the pass, I knew I couldn't hold it anymore. I puked all over the garbage can. Everyone in shock. Had to run out with the garbage can as a result. Felt awful.

Went home that day. My parents soon left for their anniversary so I was practically stuck in a pickle. I vomited 3 times and I shat my underwear as well. I woke up in the night and started vomiting. Vomiting feels awful, I couldn't breathe literally. Today, I had diarrhea 2 times. It stopped but now I'm hungry. Haven't eaten anything yet and I'm only drinking water with sugar in it. I'm having the feeling like I'm going to vomit again and my stomach literally goes into stuff mode. Guaranteed to be the worst several days of my life.

Which state are you in (if you live in the US at all that is)

Also the best way to get through it is od on sleep pills and rest a lot, trust me, it gets better after the first few rounds of vomiting

Yeah I had that too, It pretty much is horrible the first day, and you just feel weak for a couple days after (as long as you make sure to stay home and rest)

A long time ago I had a stomached flu or ache or whatever and I put hot towel over my stomach and it got better. I think it's cause heat stimulates your body to fight better and makes it harder for the virus to multiply.

The thing is you need to wet the towel with hot water and it won't feel comfortable at first.

Wow. That sounds worse than the regular periods of digestive system problems I have.

sit on the toilet with a massive bucket cuz it comes out both ends

Oh god I had that happen during winter break.
Drink stuffloads of liquids with electrolytes and don't eat anything else.


Had a similar stomach flu a few weeks ago, was going through the whole family.

Haven't thrown up in like 14 years before I got that flu.

Can't say that anymore.

Got so pissed, but it was inevitable either way.

But yeah, rest really helps. Drink water. A lot of water. More than the recommended daily amount. Makes the sickness better and the throwup/"the runs" less severe and easier to handle.

Its called food poisoning, not a flu.

Very very few flu strains at all actually cause vommiting.
People always assume flus when food poisoning is far more common and likely.

Im pretty certain the virus has repeated vomiting or whatever,comes from experience.

The flu does not give diarrhea. Bisjac might be right.
