Any tips for natural remedies for gastroenteritis/vomitting & diarrhoea?

I've not slept since Thursday my 3 kids have passed it around and tonight my 3rd is symptomatic. I'm feeling like my turn is around the corner, I'm a single mom, no car, living in a hostel, need to do a food shop, can't receive deliveries. I'm just empty at this point and fearful my intrusive thoughts may win

Ginger water. (Ginger boiled in water) besides that just let it take its course honestly

If it's severe you need to see a Dr. I use peppermint for nausea and vomiting. The BRAT diet might help as well. ( Bananas rice applesauce toast). Make sure you stay hydrated as well

Can you order from Amazon? I start taking activated charcoal to help absorb any germs my body may ingest when my kids are sick. It’s pretty cheap too

For the stomach bug you just have to get it out and stay as hydrated as possible. I'm so sorry your dealing with all of this it sounds very very tough. The last part of your post concerned me, unsure what intrusive thoughts your eluding to but please remember this too shall pass and there will be brighter days ahead. Sending lots of strength your way.

You can actually use ondansetron (like morning sickness pills) for gastro. My doctor prescribes it for my kids. I now have it in the house at all times. A 3yo can have half a 4mg pill, a 5yo can have a whole 4mg pill.

A small shot of salty water

Prebiotics

Thank you all, I tried anti sickness tablets no joy for the kids, we followed a dry diet and loads of water the odd licks of limes. Rode it out and we are better but just weak & resting. Maybe we will have time to enjoy the rest of the Easter holidays/spring break
