Okay so I'm just not having the greatest time right now. I have the stomach flu. On top of that I got poison ivy. Anyone know any natural remedies for either?

Stomach flu is hell.
Just try to drink water and sleep man, not much else you can do.
I had it earlier this year, I still can't eat pesto (last thing I ate before it hit me).
We dont have poison ivy here so i dont know sorry.

Damn you don't have poison ivy there? You are lucky. That stuff raises hell on my body. I've been sleeping and drinking ginger ale and 7 up. I can't hardly keep anything down. This has been going on for about 2 weeks. I'm starting to get afraid.

Yeah that's no good.
Get to a doctor.

~~coryallen2~~ · 05-18-2009, 08:27 AM

Yeah...

I need too. Can't keep anything down.

I'm trying to remember if I ate anything that would make me sick.

I think it might be these cabage rolls I ate. They did'nt seem to be cooked all the way through.

Being fake sick is cool. I've got those nasal herpes that have been going around.

LOL. No i'm not faking. I wish I was. I rather have nasal herpes than this stuff.

How can you get sick from poison ivy? Doesn't that just cause a rash?

If you throw up a lot, try and get some sugars and salts in you to make up for what your body loses. A common remedy for nausea here is just salty water with some sugar in it.

Be warned though that if your stomach flu is caused by bacteria, eating and drinking sweets like 7up and ginger ale may worsen your condition as it ups your blood sugar levels which basically means more food for the bacteria. Get some vitamin Cs and hot tea with lots of lemon instead.

^ Tore never said I got sick from the poison ivy. I said I got sick and on top of that I got poison ivy. And yeah poison ivy can make you sick if you ingest it.

...but you would have to be mentally disabled to eat poison ivy.
