tummy upset - how to stop the b*rfs!!!

[JFS in IL]

Poor dd, 14, has been puking all morning! It is below 0 here and I ahve no cola syrup in the house :-( What, if anything, can I give her????

I keep black tea bags on hand for this. They will barf it up also, but the tannic acid is what does the trick. Usually a cup or two is all it takes.

Also, I give charcoal tabs. Not only to the barfer, but to the "well" folks of the family. It usually prevents the spread of the tummy ailment. (This does make a mess when/if it comes back up, be prepared!)

I hope everyone feels better soon!

We are doing the same thing here. After they have gone 1-2hours then give 1 T liquid every 15 min(juice from peaches in HEAVY syrup, gatoraid, whatever-I was even told water). The key is small amounts with time in between. After a few hours of this they can go up to 2T every 15 min. Starting anything too soon or too fast seems to set us back.
