Soups, bananas, crackers, tea, gatorade, etc. Extra toilet paper and disinfectant wipes...

Activated charcoal and start taking loads of good quality probiotics, too. This is the best way to fight off the stomach flu. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-have-stomach-virus-what-should-i-do-to-prep-myself-and-dh#post-2386230 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 22:21:18 +0000 anonysquire 2386230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: just a nice dose of vitamin c and antioxidants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-have-stomach-virus-what-should-i-do-to-prep-myself-and-dh#post-2386204 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 21:51:59 +0000 Corduroy 2386204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: What does the grape juice do? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-have-stomach-virus-what-should-i-do-to-prep-myself-and-dh#post-2386201 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 21:50:45 +0000 anonysquire 2386201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have successfully avoided several bouts of the stomach flu. Activated charcoal! K swear by it. If anyone near me or my kids are sick I start taking the activated charcoal capsules and drink a big cup of 100% grape juice and I never get it. Seriously try it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-have-stomach-virus-what-should-i-do-to-prep-myself-and-dh#post-2386190 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 21:40:40 +0000 SweetCaroline 2386190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get Gatorade, saltine crackers, Popsicles. I highly recommend getting Tylenol suppositories. You have to ask for them at the pharmacy counter. I believe the adult ones are refrigerated. They are lifesavers when you can't keep anything down but have a headache or fever.</p> <p>Definately catch up on laundry. </p> <p>Ugh. I hope you guys don't get sick. DH, DD and I all got norovirus last week. Brutal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-have-stomach-virus-what-should-i-do-to-prep-myself-and-dh#post-2386175 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 21:19:13 +0000 littlecasita1122 2386175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wash everything now - hand towels, kitchen towels, your pillowcases. Use bleach on door knobs, cabinet pulls, toilets, sink handles, and LO's changing area. I rarely use bleach but with a stomach bug its the only thing that kills it! Stock up on Gatorade, saltines, soup, bread for toast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-have-stomach-virus-what-should-i-do-to-prep-myself-and-dh#post-2386170 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 21:11:27 +0000 Bao 2386170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh we never seem to avoid it :/ good luck! Take vitamins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-have-stomach-virus-what-should-i-do-to-prep-myself-and-dh#post-2386169 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 21:11:09 +0000 MrsSRS 2386169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stock up on diapers and whatever else you have to have in the house for LO. Buy a new app to have on standby if LO is old enough for screens. Catch up on laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-have-stomach-virus-what-should-i-do-to-prep-myself-and-dh#post-2386163 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 21:05:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 2386163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: I don't really have advice but I'm sorry! Stomach bugs are the worst!! Maybe get some Gatorade too? When a stomach bug went through our house it at least worked out that LO had it, then as she started getting better, I came down with it, and I as came out of the worst of it DH got it. So at least one of us was halfway functional at a time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-have-stomach-virus-what-should-i-do-to-prep-myself-and-dh#post-2386159 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 20:56:29 +0000 Corduroy 2386159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The kids have a stomach bug. It feels like we're swimming in vomit. So far DH and I haven't had symptoms but I want to prepare in case we get it too. The baby has had little regard for our health. The standard advice for avoiding germs doesn't really apply when baby smears vomit across your face. I fear I'm doomed.</p> <p>I made some rice and bought applesauce. I need to buy more laundry detergent. What else should I do? We don't have anyone else to help us if we get sick. </p>
