Stomach Bug Blues

Hey everyone! I have unfortunately caught a stomach bug from my boyfriend causing me to have radical bowel movements and extreme nausea accompanied with some vomiting. I am finally able to keep water down, so I'm trying to dehydrate, but I'm still extremely nauseated. I was wondering what you all take/took if/when this happens? I heard that Peptobismol is a no-no because it has NSAIDS in it. Please help? Thank you!

*rehydrate. Not dehydrate.

I do have good luck with pepto bismol

And heavily watered down pedialyte

Just until I feel a bit more "normal"

Good luck and please share what works. It could help others who feel ill and have had WLS ????

Do you have anti-nausea meds left over from surgery? Those would help you keep down liquids. I agree with the Pedialyte or try some Powerade Zero. I have been worried about getting a stomach bug too which is all the more reason to take the Vitamins. Hope you feel better!

Thank you both! I ended up taking a Zofran tablet I had leftover, and will try watered-down pedialyte.
