I ate bad chinese and i feel sooo bad. i have tried vomiting for about an hour and its just not working for me. Just after eating breakfast I drank 750ml of water then tried, nothing. then tried drinking warm salty water could only get about 300ml down. I press a toothbrush against the back of my tongue and stroke the back of my throat but all i do is is gag or cough.... What's the deal???? do you think something is wrong with my gag reflex?

Ordinary food poisoning won't let you off easily. It will force its way out one end or the other. If you've had this problem since last night, something more serious is wrong. You need to go to the doctor. And hurry.

all that should have made u puke. Have you tried just stick your index and middle finger in your throat and rubbing the back of your tonge? if its been a significant amount of time since u had the chinese food it may not be able to come back up, but if your not even puking out the water then maybe theres something wrong with your gag reflux!

If your body won't vomit, it probably doesn't need to. It sounds like your gag reflex is fine - you did gag. I think you just have to sit tight and hope that it will pass. Vomiting won't make you feel better, unless you have food poisoning, in which case you will vomit without trying.

Don't make yourself throw up. Instead have a little cup (Like a medicine cup) full of ginger ale every half hour.
lay down. If you fall asleep it's fine.
Just let your stomach settle. If you wake up and the pains are worse run to the the bathroom.

Get some oil of peppermint, drop a little into water and drink it. Or suck on some peppermint candy (Altoids are good) and they will help settle your stomach. If you want rid of the food, get some syrup of ipecac and try it.

i never thought i could make myself throw up. but i could. i thought you just had to make yourself gag once, but you have to make yourself gag about 3-4 times, maybe more, then you should get sick. it works for me! try it!!

Try a raw egg. Or syrup of ipecac. Works great by it at your local drug store.

You obviously don't have any vomit experience. I've been bulimic for years and now I can vomit on command without even sticking my finger down my throat. Ha!
