7-up AND orange juice.
More acid the better!

Pedialyte, gatorade, or powerade. Especially, if you have the instestinal virus going around and it's dehydrating you and you aren't willing to eat or drink anything.

I drank ginger ale when my stomach felt like crap, but if you feel you can't keep it down let it sit open and let it go flat.

Your mom got me into this mess in the first place.

Oh, and this rocks. I can't even keep water in my system.

Sounds fun. Worse than the bronchitis I've got lately.

Beware of birds. If you can't keep fluids down and this continue, you really might should see someone about an iv because dehydration is what really gets you in the end.

If you don't want to wait for it to go flat, pour it from one glass to another a few times. That will make it go flat faster.

Try gatorade or powerade types. And eat crackers, saltine, club, whatever. Can help neutralize things and you might be able to keep fluids down easier.

If you can't keep drinks down, make some ice cubes out of gatorade/powerade, or buy the pedialyte ice pops. Try sucking on chips of the ice, or small pieces of the icepops.

also.. something one of my doctors taught me..

boil some rice but instead of using 1:1 ratio, use a 3:1 ratio of water to rice. put in some sugar or honey to sweeten it, and strain the liquid out. Drink small spoonfuls of the liquid. You will get some of the rice's starches in the liquid, and the sugar will help too.

Glad to hear it. I get really nasty stomach flus and saltines are always the trick, ever since I was little.

NO ORANGE JUICE.

I once got the stomach flu and started throwing up mere hours after having orange juice. OJ is the worst thing I've ever had to throw up in my entire life. I literally couldn't drink orange juice for like 6 months after that. That was over a year ago, and I STILL don't like the taste of it - and I used to LOVE orange juice.

One night after copious drinking, I had to help my mom take our giant doberman to the vet.

The worst thing ever is to throw up chicken sandwich and fries...throw it up so hard that after you're done, you feel like you have a booger, and then you cough and a big chunk of potato and birdflesh dislodges itself from your nose in the middle of the vet's office.

Been well over 10 years since I last threw up and I'm still going strong.

Why is it folks drink 7-Up when they're sick? I do it myself and I can never see any particular reason why other than it tastes better than water.

Sometimes, gas can build up in your stomach and intestines when you haven't eaten, which just makes you feel a lot queasier. Drinking carbonated stuff gives you more gas, thus forcing you to burp it all out. That, and 7-Up doesn't have caffeine, so it won't dehydrate you at all.
