I'm Not sure about the Actavia, but the "Tummy Mint" Tea is Fine I gave it to my babies for colic. The Tea is gonna be fine for your Little one. Best Advice though is no matter what Take him to the doctor.
Almost forgot Get some "After Dinner Mints" too. Either disolve them in warm water or your Little one is old enough (as long as you watch him) to suck on them. They disolve fast.

Peppermint tea is known to be a safe stomach relief option for children much younger than 16 months. The flavor is a little harsh for some, and it may need to be sweetened, or brewed rather weak for those with picky tastes.
Activia is just as safe as normal yogurt for children who have no lactose-based stomach problems. Careful, though, stomach flu can make lactose-intolerance a problem, even just for the duration of the sickness. If the yogurt causes worsened diahrrea or vomiting, discontinue feeding it and other dairy products as much as possible.

Peppermint tea is safe for infants, my midwife says you can give it to babies as young as 1 month. (I wouldn't use it that young). It works great though.
Activia and all cow based yogurts are safe for babies over the age of 12 months, 6-12 months goat or sheeps milk yogurt is preferable though some people say you can give cow's milk yogurt.
Basically just make sure he gets enough to drink, don't worry about eating (though let him if he wants). You could also try gripe water I take it even though it is for babies it is safe and effective. Follow the dosing instructions on the bottle. Flat ginger ale is good, so is soup all the usual stuff ;-)

The "tea party" was not elected by ALL Republicans. This problem is self-correcting. Americans do not want a group of inexperienced newcomers ruining the United States. Liberals will sit and watch as the "tea party" implodes.

Peppermint and ginger is key. Lavender, too. i'm not sure wat activia is, but if it's a dairy product I personally wouldn't give it tomy kids.
Avoid Pepto-Bismol at all costs, it would be sad if your little one got Reye's Syndrome.
