Sickness and Diorrhea

[lorla]

Boy'f can't keep anything down (or up!) but is starving hungry - should he eat and change bringing it up again even though the heaving is giving him a pounding headache or just try and stay away from food. Know to give him lots of water so he doesn't get dehydrated but not sure what to do about food? He's feeling very lathergic and fed up!

if this goes on for more than 8 hours ring your GP, it may be appendix or something the sickness is a result of.

yep, as dot. say's see you GP if he's still like it in the morning.
Keep giving him fluids, that's the most important thing just now
PS, sounds like Gastric flu

[kyra16]

try plain toast; i can always keep that down
but like doc n 4gs say...take him in if he doesnt' get better

[oldmegan]

Could be gastro enteritis. Has he got bad pains in his stomach? Forget about food, just keep on doing wot you are with lots of water and as others have said, don't leave it a long time to get medical help.

See the AB resident GP 4GS he will spout a load of sh�t about what he thinks you should do etc etc because he thinks he used to be a doctor !

[dot.hawkes]

errrrrrrrrr when did john lambert think he was a doctor? lol

[smi_ffy]

Ask him. He thinks he's "qualified" to give a "medical" opinion. A complete wannabe !

Army paramedic (jealous now)?
you used to be an idiot, you've now been promoted to fcukwit
congratulations

[smi_ffy]

Oh yes, I'm jealous. Can you tell ? Is it the way I stalk you ?

[4GS]

Well done fcukwit, now you've shown lorla what a tw@t you are.
What advice has you got for her b/f's medical problem?

[bodylice]

What is gastric flu ? Is it as vague and non-helpful as a 'bilious attack' ?

There is no such thing as gastric flu.

[lorla]

Cheers All, think I'll get him to the docs tomorrow then. Ta

Hello lorla , sorry that your bf is feeling so rough. Try to give him frequent fluids , in little sips at a time , to keep him from becoming dehydrated , and , as the others have said , make sure he sees a doctor if he is no better or gets any worse . All the best. :-)

There�s a product you can buy either at the chemist or even at a superstore, which will immediately help to replace your BF�s lost electrolytes as well as replace bulk within his tracts called Diarolyte. The product is part of airline crew�s medical kits and gives close to immediate help. It�s basically a rice derivative. However, just as with so many things today, it contains a trace amount of aspartame. The symptoms you have shared can manifest as a consequence of many physiological and biological issues. His lethargy is symptomatic of his condition. Perhaps a banana or anything with potassium could also assist in his wellbeing. If the condition persists it�s important to seek qualified medical advice.

I wish him a speedy recovery

i wouldnt suggest banana as being a good thing to eat if theres a chance of bring it back up. according to someone i know banana was the worst thing they were ever sick after eating because the body had not digested any of it quickly enough and it got stuck in their throat.
