After we are sure the vomiting is ended I will definitely try the yogurt. I make homemade yogurt so I know it has the active cultures in it and he really likes it. The doctore said this year's version of this is vicious and I will likely get it since I am his caregiver it is just a matter of time. Oh well...one day at a time I guess.Riannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503798440194712453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371236625156362040.post-87123994206981605132008-12-09T08:27:00.000-06:002008-12-09T08:27:00.000-06:00Maybe try and get some type of probiotic in him? ...Maybe try and get some type of probiotic in him? If he is able to eat a little yogurt with an active culture would work. Otherwise I think you would have to buy the powder and mix it with milk/formula.<BR/>Hopefully it passes quickly.Sarah and Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618358656098944111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371236625156362040.post-62346519608255325292008-12-09T06:44:00.000-06:002008-12-09T06:44:00.000-06:00I've been through many stomach bugs between my two...I've been through many stomach bugs between my two girls. I'm sorry you're going through this right now. <BR/><BR/>I'd definitely avoid dairy as the GI tract becomes lactose intolerant with these bugs. Also, avoid pork products since they take so long to digest.<BR/><BR/>I give my girls acidophilus to return the good bacteria during these bouts. I get mine at a health food store and it's refrigerated, meaning it's still active, which is best. I've seen a kids acidophilus product at Walgreens right on the shelf. I'm not sure how effective it is though. I break apart the capsule and sprinkle it onto their food or into their drink.<BR/><BR/>Good luck, stomach bugs are the worst. The diarrhea can last up to 3 weeks so brace yourself and keep the lysol and bleach at hand so it doesn't spread to yourself and your husband.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966938592695562373noreply@blogger.com
