i just got fuckin food poisoning from Alex Pizza. I think. In a serious serial barf-mode. Poor Zarf had to listen twice, and then I made him get me from stomachey things I remembered from last year's poisoning, back when I had a health care plan with a dial-a-nurse option. (That was from some cheapie Thai place, I can't even remember which now.)

Wish me luck.

When you can keep it down, water. And more water. Hydration.

Good luck.

Z just handed me a 2-liter of Ginger Ale (with Pepto Bismol for a chaser) and said "Try not to - if you will - spend it all in one place." O funny guy.

Mmmm yes, ginger - good for settling the stomach. USually the sugar content is too much for my upset stomach though to be helpful.

But still, good luck.

unfortunately, most widely available ginger ales have zero actual ginger these days. When I was morning sick I kept Whole Foods in business buying like 5 sixpacks at a time of the yuppy organic ginger brews with actual ginger listed in the ingredients.

In addition to the hydration, for the next day or so, stick with plain white rice, boiled chicken or hamburger and bland bread products. If you scarf down rich food the moment you feel hungry again, your poor abused GI tract will tell you what-for, even if its "over" the initial insult.
