I have a stomach bug. I haven't felt well since yesterday. I stayed in bed until 11 this morning because my husband has the day off.
Now hubby is taking the little ones out shopping, so I'll have the house to myself for a few hours to relax.
I haven't taken any medicine yet, and I haven't been eating at all.

My spouse had a 72 hr bug. I gave my spouse some chicken noodle soup and some sprite and ginger ale. I guess you probably do not feel like eating, but I would suggest that you eat a little something and drink something so that you will not get dehydrated.

Usually I stop eating something in the first day.
But you'd better drink some water with little sugar and salt.
Sometimes medicine is needed.
Do not eat much when you feel well again and eat light foods as possible.

Ok someone must have gave us a bug at the same time. I woke up with a headache and stomach ache yesterday and I still have it today. I barely was able to eat yesterday but I am better today. I didn't really take anything. i just took an alieve and napped on the couch till lunch. my grandmother used to take 7up and stir it till it was flat and then give it to us. that usually worked pretty good.
I try not to eat too much. I sometimes will make up some jell-o and sip it while it is still warm to get something in my belly, so I don't feel hungry on top of feeling sick.

If I get a tummy bug then I just starve myself for a couple of days, I do not eat a thing. I also starve myself if anyone else in the house gets one just so that I do not get it! I drink some water but that is about it and it works for me.
