Actually having had stomach flu on numerous occasions - water is not good - its hard to vomit - I usually drink coca cola - it restores lost sugars and if I do vomit it it easy to vomit.I usually eat Marie biscuits or tinned apples when I stop vomiting

Ugh! I ALWAYS get the stomach flu! You really must have a strong stomach. I can't THINK about pop whenever I'm sick! Like now: I am SO dizzy, stuffed up, headache, stomachache! What do I have? BTW, I already got a flu shot so it isn't the flu.

actually, i used to get the stomach flu very frequently when i was younger, and i found that ginger ale (in few sips every once in a while) is way better than water. however, i used to eat ice chips too.

No Ginger Ale? Why?

And I think solids are good unless you're actively in the vomiting stage.

Sorry, but the instructable is completely wrong except the first point: washing the hands. Trying to avoid the stomach flu taking the vitamins is like to try to avoid AIDS with vitamins and minerals too. The best could be to go to the hospital, because the vomit and a high temperature could not be caused only by the stomach flu.

If you are sure that this is a stomach flu and you are older than 18 yo, the best advise is to take 50 gramm of vodka/gin/brandy - this really works event if it sounds crazy. Actually the last you want to do in case of stomach flu is to drink some alcohol but it somehow works :-)
