Lurgy again - What to do?

Morning all.

In our house, we are all struck down with a lurgy. Constant puking, literally no strength, dizzy, and poor wife even went off in an ambulance on account of being in agonising pain and dehydrated.

We all seem a bit better today, but still rough as a dog. Funny thing is, all last night and still today, I've been having really intense cravings for over ripe fruit. Specifically strawberries, pineapples and plums. Now I do believe the human body knows what its lacking, and where to find it, but why over ripe strawberries and pineapples (and plums to a lesser extent)?

The craving was so strong last night that despite being too ill to walk, and certainly too ill to drive, I actually considered going to see if Tescos was open.

 

There must be an enzyme in them, i don`t know enough to give an answer, somebody will be along soon, my sympathies to all and hope you all improve,

 

I don't think fruit is a good idea while you have a vomiting bug . I just have dry toast ( no butter ), and water with a pinch of salt in it .

 

Sorry to hear the Clueless clan aren't on form....hope you all get better soon
I'd just go for plenty of fluids....boiled water is my 'thing' and snacks... little and often...as Harry says dry toast or crackers...then when your stomachs feel up to it some soup....best not to overload with anything heavier...especially if it may 'come back to visit' ....rest and sleep too...if you get the chance....take it easy

 

Sounds awful - is that the Norovirus you all have? - is your wife home again now, clue?

Frequent sips of plain water (to keep hydrated); once you can keep down the sips, you can build up to gulps. Fizzy drinks and fruit juices will aggravate diarrhoea; milky drinks should probably be avoided too.

Your craving my not have been your own body's way of tempting you to eat something you need; it may have been the norovirus conning your body to eat something *it* needs (the fruit would give you the squits).

Or (more likely) it could be your hot, dehydrated, brain imagining alsorts

Get well soon wishes to all your household

 

Thanks all

Wife is back home now. She spent a few hours on a drip to rehyrdrate her. They told her it was gastrosomethingitis.

 

Hope the next day or so brings you all back to good health.Just rest or sleep as much as you can,
Jenny

 

I have had a sore throat since Monday and now yesterday and today have sneezed all day long and feel so tired .

 

Hope you are feeling better soon Scotkat appart from the yucky feeling you get with these bugs the lack lustre feeling is just as bad.....

 

I'm staying down south

Hope all concerned feel better soon.

 

gastroENTERitis

 

gastroenteritis? nasty. hope u feel better soon xxx little lad ok? a cup of original dioralyte and a cup of full sugar squash and water given with a tea spoon every 5 mins braught our little one around when she had it and was nee nawed into hosp.

 

Something like that, but it seems like a daft name to me, seeing as there is a lot mre EXITing going on than ENTERing

 

I had gasroenteritis that time when I ate some raw mussles that I had caught myself in Alghero-Sardinia. The day after I was to travel by sea for 12 hours to go up north. Needless to say that it was the most nightmarish journey ever, the tummyacke was just escruciating. Luckily upon arrival a good ten flacons of ENTEROGERMINA fixed it all-in due time.
