If you're certain that it's a 24-hour bug (e.g. if there's one doing the rounds and you've been unlucky enough to catch it) then you can try taking Imodium or something similar; eating plain yogurt ir very soothing and restores the balance of bacteria in the system; if you've been badly affected your pharmacist should be able to give you an electrolye-balancing drink that will restore some of the havoc; make sure that you have plenty to drink, little and often, to keep your fluids up; and some people (only some!) also find that tomato juice with a lot of Worcester sauce is helpful.
Also avoid playing Twister for the next 72 hours.

Aww, first off, I'm sorry, I know how miserable those can be. I suggest calling off work for another day to get some rest, and staying in bed.
Next, drink plenty of fluids like water and apple juice, but avoid drinks like orange juice that are acidic and milk/milk products. Those are really nasty to throw up, and not good for a bad stomach.
Don't take anything for diarrhea if you've come to that yet, it just makes it worse. Let it get out of your system. Ginger ale helps calm a stomach, but make sure it's warm and flat so you don't shock your stomach.
If you're hungry, eat some saltines or dry toast. Nothing too heavy or fatty, because fats are hardest to digest.
try looking in wikipedia for answers too, it works wonders.
get some rest and feel better!

make sure that you are drinking lots of fluids because if you are throwing up then you must be careful of dehydrating your body. Don't have anything with citrus or even milk. The best option is WATER and apple juice. Even if you are not really hungry at meal time, make sure that you are eating toast with a light topping and dry cheerios.
Get Well Soon!!!

Try drinking Gatorade to replenish lost electrolytes. Tea and clear broths are good also. Get lots of rest. Try eating toast, rice or a banana. Hope you guys feel better soon!

B.R.A.T. diet
banana, rice, apple sauce and toast
a little at a time. I recommend the toast first-no butter or jelly
I hope you get to feeling better soon. It sucks to feel icky.

Clear liquid diet (no milk or milk products), ...juice, water, jello. for awhile until it improves....crackers maybe soda pop? tums? if it is bad enough go to the ER or doctor and see if they can give you something on rx.

eat a banana ... our pediatrician told us that it works for children and adults.
