Currently I'm still fighting the stomach flu which started 2 days ago. I'm able to keep some food and fluids down but I'm still not ready to eat a normal diet. My abdominal pain has not subsided yet, but with the help of Pepto-Bismol that has been helping a little to alleviate the pain. My cold sweats and nausea feeling has subsided to mild and I'm able to get up and out of bed. The last 48 hours was horrible. All I could do was drink a little fluid and sleep. The first night I threw-up constantly which led to the morning. I'm currently on antibiotics and I don't think that it is helping my stomach at all. I going to take myself off of the antibiotics until my abdomen pain subsides. I hope this helps. I forgot to mention that before this all happen I just had the flu shot the day before I came down with all of these symptoms. My Dr thinks I was already infected with the flu. Good luck.

Wow, mine started with diarrhea the first day and that was all. I didn't go to work because my stomach was so upset but I was able to eat so I did. That was the wrong thing to do, as I found out at 3am the next morning. I woke up with a terrible stomach ache and thought I had to use the restroom, so while I'm sitting on the commode trying to defecate, I start throwing up and I can't stop. I've had this before so I called an ambulance right away. I threw up in the hospital while waiting to be discharged (the doctor felt I was okay enough to go home and take a prescription drug) so the doctor changed his mind and gave me Zofran through an IV. I felt so much better until they took the IV out and I waited for a ride home. While I was sitting in the waiting area for my ride, I threw up again and was in severe pain. I've been drinking water and a little ginger ale and I feel much better now.Although Zofran does make you drowsy-ughh I hate this!

Mine started at 5:30 am with some fierce diarrhea. Then I started getting nauseous during the diarrhea episodes and wouldn't know which end it was coming out of first. The forceful vomiting caused the diarrhea to squirt out everywhere and I had to throw away my pants and get in the shower. The vomiting lasted a couple more hours. Then it was nausea, heartburn, stomach gurgling/noises for the next week. Horrible time! The only thing that helped was drinking tiny sips of ice water and Propel water.

My symptoms usually last about a week, maybe longer. And that depends upon how soon I can see my Dr. for him to prescribe an antidiarrheal, anti spasmodic and pain reliever. Librax helped, but made me pretty dizzy & a bit groggy. Levsin also helped quite a bit. I chewed Maalox chewables for the incredible belching. That worked pretty well. When the cramping, diarrhea and dry heaves were over, the pain sometimes persisted as well as a lot of shakiness. I took Ativan that worked well for the shakiness.

I am not feeling well and my abdomen has been cramping badly for a day. I thought it was a bladder infection, but before I could get the results, I was hit extremely hard. I called the medics to take me to the hospital where I was diagnosed with gastroenteritis. I was given IV of saline, morphine for pain and antibiotics (Zofran and Cipro). I was admitted to the hospital overnight and by the next afternoon I was ready to go home.

I am into the third day with little or no relief of the symptoms.

On my 3 day with gastroenteritis. I must say the stomach cramps are awful. I've been through some things in life that have been hard and painful and this is very similar.

I had gastroenteritis for three days. I'm in my 40s and generally healthy. I found plenty of sleep and Gatorade helped greatly. I had trouble keeping food down so I just had chicken noodle soup and lots of crisp bread and toast.

I woke up this morning with my stomach gurgling and feeling a bit strange. Gastroenteritis is going around work so I rung up sick just in case. As soon as I got off the phone I rushed to the toilet with very watery stool. This continued for once every hour for four hours. I have only vomited once so far but the cramps in my stomach were getting unbearable. I then took an anti-nausea tablet and that settled my gut. I hope this doesn't last very long.
