Alright so you probably guessed I was sick, I've been dry heaving all morning, and it friggin hurts :(

I took a med to stop the hurling, and it's that time where they recommend I should start sipping some powerade/gatorade. My question is this NS; when you're sick and can't drink too fast, how long do you wait between sips?

Stupid question, I know, but I haven't drank all day and I'm pretty dehydrated. Bu, if I drink to fast to hydrate myself I'll probably just get sick again :(

and try like REALLY delicious yogurt. like a basic flavor, such as strawberry. its easy to eat and it will hook you up with mad energy with a gatorade combo.

but as someone previously said, i just watch tv when im sick. so take a spoonful of yogurt and a few sips of gatorade during commercials and you should feel loads better.

^^ yah um you deffinitly dont want to eat much when you sick and if you have to eat then you should be eating really light soups with alot of broth, not creamy soups and i deff wouldnt eat dairy prouducts.

sipping on drinks such as seven up are really good for the stomach. but liquid in genral is really crutial to getting better. even if it makes you puke, you should still drink it. its not like your "getting sick" again, its just that your body has not gotten rid of the virus yet and sometimes you just gotta keep throwing up to get better.

but like that kid up there said, drink a couple sips on the commercial breaks or something. you just want to keep fluid in your body, otherwise if your dehydrating yourself when you already have the stomache flu(or anyother virus) then your body is having to work extra hard because its trying to fight the virus while trying to hydrate you.. not good

i feel you man, ive been puking/dry heaving since friday, and it BLOWS. My girlfriend came over for like 15 minutes yesterday and I threw up my waffles hahah. But yea, I found that a sip or two of water/gatorade/ginerale every 10 minutes or so should be ok. For some reason i rally like flat Coke too

But ya good luck

Update:

Doctors are saying there's a good chance it's this thing called the Nuvo (sp?) virus. At first I thought it was food poinsoning from eating a new jar of peanut butter (By the way, there's a callback on all recently bought jars of peanut butter of ANY kind, so don't eat it guys!). Turns out the doctors believe it was too early to see a reaction from the PB because i had gotten sick about6 hours after i ate it.

They said this virus is REAL common amongst people in High School and College right now so as a favor to yourself wash your hands a lot guys! You don't want this trust me

i hope you realize that a popsicle depending on what kind you have is frozen juice. and as i clearly stated you suck on it. Its kind of like snow. it melts when its warm. turning it into a liquid. you wouldn't be eating ANYTHING.  when i get really sick i freeze gatorade into my own popsicles, because they melt slowly and its not like taking a sip more of a very slow one. Simultaniously the gatorade is providing me with the electrolytes that my body needs to recover its lost fluids. POPSICLES WORK

Thanks guys, I am actually feeling better after sipping some powerade, whoever made that shit is a Godsend. Another thing that works well is filling a relatively small cup with ice cubes and poppin' one or two and sucking on those for a while. After they get a little smaller I chew em up that way there's a bunch of tiny ice chunks in my mouth, feels SOOOO much better :D

Pro-Biotics SONNN!!!~!

But yeah I used to have a disorder that involved me getting sick very very often.  I would reccomend saltine crackers with margarine and kool-aide with ice.  Just sip through a straw every once in a while, the sugar helps calm your stomach.

ok so my mom is a nutrition guru. let me tell you right now that powerade is not good when your sick. doctors tell you that because it has electo-lights in it. but the other key ingredient is sugar. sugar is the WORST thing you can ingest when your sick.
 my advice is go to a health food store and buy astragalus root tea. drink that shit all day and you will feel better.

Usually when im sick like that i just eat aton of ice, because it is a little heavier so it can somtimes stay down in your stomach,  and if that doesnt work just keep drinking and eventually youll stop throwing up.
