Quick answer please ....

[jonah hart]

My friend as just messaged me she got food poisning from a dodgy Indian last nite an being really sick :( can anyone suggest anything to help her feel better please ??

[sara3]

keep her fluids up, plenty of water, and stay near the loo :o)

if she has something iffy in her system it must come out, and the sooner the better.

then she can consider if she is going to complain to.. is it Environmental Health? some department that her local authority will put her on to.

I wish her well :o/

I assume sickness and no diarhoea.

Nothing to eat, fluids only....if she can keep them down.

Stemetil by mouth ...if possible.

Monitor the situation.

sara.......snap my love....like your answer the better though.

Have you still got your silk pyjamas on?

[jonah hart]

[sqad617]

It is a labyrinthine sedative and controls nausea........5mgms can be got over the counter.

Many sympathies. It's early in the day, but a large slug of brandy will work wonders. If ever you see little bottles of Underberg Bitters while you are out shopping, buy a couple for standby. Expensive, ferociously alcoholic (86 proof), but an absolute balm to a churning stomach.

As a matter of interest, what did she eat, was it sit-in, takeaway, home delivery, a restaurant she uses (or once used!) regularly?

I am interested because I eat home-delivered curry at least 3 nights a week, from several different curry houses, and touchwood, I have never had a problem.

[jonah hart]

It was a takeaway whiffey :( I no it's put me off from ordering now .. Just been to see her an it ain't nice :( ..
