Has anyone got any helpful tips to gettinh through this Norovirus. I don't want take in too many calories but Lucazade is so high in calories I don't know of anything else to try. I'm not managing to keep much inside, it seems to gurgle round my stomach quickly after eating then out in whichever direction it feels!

    I wouldnt worry about how many calories you are ingesting right now since you arent keeping to many in anyhow. I would just make sure you get your fluids above anything else.

    I agree. Staying hydrated is seriously important right now.

    If someone can run to the drug store for you they sell electrolyte strips. This will help to re-establish your electrolyte levels to help reduce the vomiting and diarrhea but at the same time not introducing to much to your stomach at a time. After that, just stick with frozen gatorade chips. I am very sure you will not consume 1200 calories in gatorade! Stay hydrated and out the the ER!

    I had this horible virus a few years ago. Lots of fluids and rest/sleep. I also agree don't worry about how many calories you are consuming as most probably aren't staying with you for long. Hope you feel better soon!

    Just stay hydrated. Gatorade and water, maybe saltines. This went through my work and so many people got sick. It will run it's course...

    Good luck!:flowerforyou:
