Stomach bug! Please help!

Have any of you had the stomach bug after surgery? What meds could you take? I don't want to go to the pharmacy as most people in South Africa are extremely uneducated about weight loss surgery and they will probably give something that is bad for my pouch and not even realise it. That is why i much rather ask your advice. If you have names available, can you perhaps also state the main ingredient? Cause i have found that all your meds have different names here in South Africa oi and it frustrates me when I read about something on here and nope, not available in my country! Please if you dont mind. Otherwise any home remedy. As i am terribly sick with fever and tummy running and i am taking no meds whatsoever, really suffering ;-(

I know we cannot take anything that has ibprophen in it... I would call your doctors office and ask for suggestions. Hope you feel better soon!

Oh and for the fever take acetometophin (Tylenol). But I would call your doctor.

I'm sorry I have no suggestion. I hope you feel better soon
