I had it on Sunday (weak and nausea), but recovered day 2, but DH had the brunt of it. He was vomiting through the night of Christmas Eve every hour and was bedridden all through Christmas and is still recovering. Amazingly DS hasn't gotten it yet and we're keeping our fingers crossed!

For any nursing Mom with the stomach bug, remember "Women who are breastfeeding should avoid drugs that contain bismuth, such as Pepto-Bismol and Kaopectate (bismuth subsalicylate – active ingredient) due to the association of salicylates with Reyes Syndrome in children"

I think this one just hit us. Yay!

Is there a fever associated with this?

DS had it for about 6 days. He vomited from Wednesday late night until the next Tuesday morning. Dr. gave us an anti-nausea pill so he could eat something, which helped for all of a day.

It is horrible. I had allergy symptoms starting on the 21st, Sore throat, then a weak feeling in my stomach that felt like sensations, cramps, followed by fatigue and diarrhea.
I could barely keep anything down but getting better today. It is the 28th and I am still feeling cramps in my stomach. It is an uneasy feeling and was helped by Zantac and drinking water with Apple Cider Vinegar.

I have a doctor's appointment April 2nd just to make sure it is not something else.

I can tell you, I have never felt this horrible before and I had friends get sick starting late last year and the beginning of the new year.

I would recommend drinking a lot of water and getting a lot of rest. That is the only thing that seems to help and the consensus I am getting from everyone and health boards.
