So this is totally off topic but I am in my 3rd day of a D&V bug, quarantined from my children and feeling awful. I am surviving on Rehydration fluids, this is the most important thing you need for rehydrating after vomiting or diarrhoea.
You don't need to buy Dioralyte or other branded rehydration solutions all you need is boiled water, salt and sugar.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends the following mix. In 1 litre of boiled water dissolve 1 level tea spoon of salt and 6 - 8 teaspoons of sugar. Sip little and often to maintain hydration after a purge. Drop the salt a little for children.
Babies (under 1 year) should see a doctor the same day and children after 36 hours or if they become really unwell (ie floppy or unresponsive)
And whatever you don DON'T take anything to stop the diarrhoea, it will just keep the virus, bacteria etc inside your body and keeping you ill for longer.
For more information see the world health organisation's web site, or NHS Direct.
(normal service will resume soon)
