thanks teresa.just wish i had a toilet up here as i have to keep rushing down every five minutes.at times like this you really know what your bottoms forxxxx):

Did it come on all of a sudden?

my daughter was ill last week and i felt abit strange .then saturday morning i was fine.but in the afternoon i just couldn't stop going to the loo.5 times in half an hour.it was the blood that worried me so called N.H.s direct and they adviced that i go to an emergency doctor.it was then that i was told it was infective gastroenteritis and adviced to stay off work as it can spread like wildfirexxxx(:

Hope you feel bettter very, very soon. Joy

Hi Lisa, i had similar thing a few weeks ago so i sympathise. I lost 9pounds in 2 days but am now fighting fit again. Get well soon. Sheila x

make sure you keep fluids up. Dioralite is good but yukky or a packet of chrisps (will replace lost salts) and an isotonic drink/sports drink...(lost sugar) hope you feel better soon & if the runs continue see doc as you may become dehydrated E x

am a little dehydrated.my husband is getting me some rehydrate and some tender loving care which is what i need right now.will try the crisps if i can keep them dow.love and hugsxxxxxxxxx(:

sheila glad your o.k now.it takes it out of you doesn't it.xxxx(:

awww poor you, hope u feel better, i hate it when i cant eat too!!!love and hugs xx

Poor you Lisa, hope you will be better soon. One thing good for rehydrating is coke or pepsi left to go flat. Onnce you can keep food down an apple well chewed might help. did the doctor give you anything to help? ann Glos

A doctor told me to give the children a small amount of lemonade, just enough to cover bottom of the cup, say quarter of an inch or so. That is easier to keep down than water. Gradually increase the amount and switch to water when you can manage it. Don't be in a hurry to start on the food. We can cope without for a while and it's better to let the 'bug' clear the system rather than feed it. Hope you feel better soon.

yes strong antibiotics to clear the infection up.not scared that the gastro has made me ill.read the side effects and they are unbelieveble.but if they will make me better will take them.thanks guys for you concern.might have to go in 5 mins to have a lie down.starting to feel rough now.paul if your there will try and get on later even if it's to say hi and see how you are.love and hugsxxxxx(:

lisa, bless your heart! get well soon chickie!! xxx
