I had the stomach flu about three days 3-4 days ago and then it stopped. I was throwing up and what not. It stopped for maybe like two days and now its back again today and I keep throwing up. I cant hold any of my food down. Is this normal?

well, first, the "stomach flu" doesn't exist. It's usuall either mild food poisioning, or caused by some other source. My advice is see your doctor. Let him rule out the possible causes. Meantime, you need lots of clear fluids, pepto bismol helps too. Don't let yourself get dehydrated.

The "flu" is influenza, a respiratory virus. You have a plain old nasty stomach virus. Very simply put, viruses take over body by using your body's cells as little virus factories; the cells burst, releasing the viruses into your blood, where they go find more cells to use. In the meantime your body is manufacturing antibodies as fast as it can to kill the virus. So it's a race between your body and the virus; sometimes your body's ahead, sometimes the virus is. Eventually your body will win.
Stay hydrated, take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory pain relievers (i.e., tylenol, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium) if you ache, and eat bland soft foods.
If vomiting continues more than 5-7 days, you may wish to contact your physician. He/she will know what stomach viruses are "going around" in your area and can give advice.

I even have drank domicile made lemonade and clean soup and something thats liquid which you would be able to shop hydrated with. so a strategies as nutrition...properly in case you do no longer consume it...you will no longer could desire to throw it up! Oh. sure take 2 excederine discomfort killers each and every 4 hrs for headache. See .....you purely stored your self $seventy 5.00-to one hundred.00 funds no longer likely to the dr. Thats the place I have been given this propose.....

yup. it happens, drink alot of water and things like vitamin water so you still get nutrients without eating very much, as far as food goes, id go with soup. basically, lots of liquids.
