Everything I read said diary was ok

Ugh, this just hit us yesterday. Both kids, although DS has it way worse than DD. It's been the grossest 24 hrs of my life. They just started preschool at the beginning of January, so I was expecting an influx of germs, but I was not mentally prepared for this level of disgustingness. I've had all manner of bodily fluids on me in the last day. I'm just hoping DH and I can somehow avoid getting it.

Yes. It was terrible. Both my girls had very light almost whitish poops after the throw up and diarrhea stopped, which really freaked me out. But the pediatrician said to just watch and as long as there's a hint of color it's prob ok.

Our whole house had it the week before Christmas. No fever and her mood was usually pretty okay despite how sick she was. The adults recovered fast and my 14 month old had it for a solid week with only throwing up the first night. Her poo was either pasty and really foul smelling or diarrhea, 1-2 of them a day. She stopped eating and she barely eats as it is and then day 3 she stopped drinking anything and I offered her everything. I took her to the doctor and emergency room because she wasn't peeing much and woke up with a dry diaper one day and dehydration was scaring me. I told both the doctor and er doctor that dairy seemed to make her have a diarrhea poo quite quickly and they both said that recently there have been studies about the BRAT diet and stuff and it doesn't matter much they said. They both said get her to drink whatever she'll drink. Hey also both said that the electrolyte drinks didn't matter and I could get her to drink it anyway or eat the popsicle form, and to be fair, they don't taste good. Luckily she didn't need any medical intervention, but it was a bit of a hard/scary time for me for a few days.

When she was eating at the beginning I did try the BRAT diet. All she would accept was a small amount of bagel with butter.

Im guessing this is what has hit our house. In the car LO said her stomach hurt, and then said she stomach and throat hurt and as soon as we got home she threw up a TON all over my chair (fabric chair, because like a cat, of course!). It was so disgusting, I felt so badly for her. It's only like the second time she's ever thrown up (and she doesn't remember the other time), so it was pretty dang traumatic for everyone. Then just before bed, diarrhea

We had it 3 times in December and early January. I hope we can avoid it again as we now have a newborn.

It hit everyone in my house with the exception of my oldest daughter around 1/9. It lasted a full week. It was terrible!

We had this last month. I've heard dairy is not very good for a stomach bug, but the kids did have some milk when they were just getting better because that's what they craved and they were barely eating anything else. It's a pretty nasty bug, I'm used to them only lasting a day, but at least the actual puking didn't last too long.
