Hi,

My hubby has been sick since before Christmas and I think I may be coming down with it now - I am feeling really pukey, extremely gassy, body aches and headache...I know pepto is a no-no, but does anyone know about Emetrol? Or what about a anti-diarrhea med?

Thanks,
Erin

    I didn't know that pepto is a no-no. Thanks for the heads up. Obviously bottles of ginger ale are out, but gatorade would work for hydration. For nausea my surgeon has me keep Promethazine on hand. Hope you and your husband feel better soon.

    I've used the CVS brand anti-diarreah medicine with no issues. I always make sure it is not enteric coated.
