You know those stories people tell when they had gastro, and they are sitting on the toilet whilst holding a bucket at the same time because they needed to do both at once? I thought that was very much an exaggeration or a story you tell kids to frighten them into washing their hands. Nope. It is real.
Apparently i gotta keep hydrated, but how the hell am i supposed to do that when i drink water and double the amount I just drank “leaves” me?
I found there was a lesser leaving effect if I had those hyrdolite icy poles.
I don’t have any sadly, just gonna have to rely on water and dry biscuits.
a bit of salt/sugar in the water can help with electrolytes. It'd be worth seeing if someone could drop some off to you. HMU if you're near Springvale, I can drop off a tub of sports drink powder.
That’s but I’m not, appreciate the offer though. Mrs got me a bottle of juice and lemonade to sip. So we will see how those go.
Yep been there. Whist on an overseas holiday. Could not leave the hotel room for 24 hours. Was starting to panic about what to do if it keeps going but thankfully seemed to resolve. Don’t know if it was food poisoning or gastro, but single worst sick day ever. Sipping something very slowly through straw helps to get liquids in. Cold drinks and ice.
Yeah that’s pretty much what I’m doing. Hard not to scoff it because I haven’t eaten properly in like 24 hours
