Sick Beagle

sound to quick to be food poisoning

DO NOT UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES DRINK FIZZY LUCOZADE, it may cause bleeding and the way it is made up will cause water intake to drop(there is a warning on bottle about this anyway)

lucozade sport is fine,(and the orange is not too unpleasant a taste to have when its comming back up)  or isotonic, or 50/50 lemonade/water. i don't know about gator aid etc power aid, i assume they are similar to isotonic so should be fine.

DRINK AT ROOM TEMP NOT COLD, the shock of cold drinks on a weak stomach may cause extreme cramp and instant vomiting.

Coke is bad if you've thrown up a yellow substance, (comes after the green bile stage) this is the stomach stripping itself to repair, coke may cause damage and ulcers may form.

It sounds like gastro enteritis(sp) google it, i used to suffer from this every few months for about 2 years.

Do not try to eat until you ve had 24hrs clear of vomiting, you mouth produces precursors for digestion, the chemicals they trigger in the stomach will be present in such low quanties that food will sit there or worse be moved on undigested(and you will add shitting yourself to the equation)

just get to bed with lots to drink, stay warm because cold sweats and shakes are on the way, as your body concentrates on fixing the damage and diverts resources away from other areas, expect nasty headaches etc but don't take anything as your bowels can t handle it.

I know how horrid this is expect to be out of action for a weak snoops




we could just take you to be put down

ty very much, can I expect to keep being sick.

Should I see a doctor?

[ariston]

always wise to see a doctor snoops- better being safe and it may be something he can give you some pills for. just make sure you stay hydrated is the key thing.

[mex]

you willl be sick every time you drink usually, but have to keep putting it in, some fluids will get into the system. You should see a doctor or call nhs direct at the very least, but not a lot can be done, extreme cases you ll end up on a drip.

snoops this should help

Thank you for your help. Am still drinking, but my body is aching all over, I have no energy and am a little disorientated. This sux. 

[TightPaulFolds]

Very sorry that you're sick, sounds like food poisoning. Flat coke, lots of (dunno why, came from a doc though). You'll be very dehydrated.
I know it's none of my business, but can you tell me what site you play your heads up game on, and what your username is?
Good luck. It's never nice.

[mex]

thats dehydration snoops, its not nice, but if the vomitings stopped your on the mend, usually ribs will ache from the vomiting.

No king i'm not a doctor, but from 14 to 18 i became very ill regularly in this way. aged 17 i ended up being ill for 11 weeks and dropping several stone.
I ended up in hospital and had to go under the knife, spent another year having tests of a rarther unpleasant nature(for suspected Chrones ). I've had it come back once in 16 years.
I had to learn to recognise it and live with it, but thankfully i'm over it now.

AND NO COKE, its the cilit bang of soft drinks

wow no wonder you know then!
Thanks for backing me up on coke, i cringed when people suggested that!

I studied Chrones a bit in uni, know how bad it is. Glad you over it mate!

Avoid coke, worse thing you can have.
Have a glass of water with pinch of salt in and sip this. The only way to combat the dehydration is to increase your sodium intake. It will be low at present due to all the vomitting you have been doing. the water can only pass through to your cells via sodium. No sodium, no way for the water to get into your cells.

When i'm ill/sick, I eat salted crisps as they are dry and contain sodium. Only thing that works for me but just personal preference.
If your still being sick by the morning, phone the gp. You may need medical intervention by then. Will consist of an antiemetic such as a phenathiazine, and either elctrolite drink or an IV line such as Balmans.

Try to get plenty of bed rest.

Unlucky... get well soon.

Would you describe your kitchen as (A) sparkling clean and spotless, or (B) dirty plates piled up by the kettle, old pots & pans festering in the sink, smells a bit of cat shit, and filth & grime everywhere?

[RichEO]

I wouldn't go out of your way to take in salt. Yes you need a little, but salt will dehydrate you itself.

Food poisoning can come on quickly.

Phone NHS direct if your still ill and they will tell if you need a doctor.


Get well soon.
