I've got the worst stomach bug!

But I feel really bad for K.  :(  Poor guy has to be inside with me most of the day since I'm not feeling up to going out and playing or walking around.  He's as cranky as I feel. 

I've had a bad stomach since Thursday night and spoke to my doc who gave me some tablets which are safe while BFing, but I have NO appetite and I keep having to make bathroom runs (TMI, sorry!).  All of that, combined with the fact that MH works all day and there isn't anyone else at home to really help me look after K, is making me exhausted!

Ugh.  Anyone have cures for bad stomach?  I've been living off chicken/veggie soup, rice and crackers for the last 3 days. :(

    I usually get some Gatorade (don't know if you have that there?) to keep up my electrolytes, and that usually helps some.

    I'm so sorry you're feeling bad!  That's gotta be exhausting taking care of the baby all day too :(   Can your husband take a day off and help you?

    Eek! So sorry to hear =( I'd just drink lots of fluids to make up for the ones you're losing (esp if you're BFing, to keep your supply up) and live on the BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) diet for a while. Other than that, hope you get lots of rest and get & feel better soon!!!

    Thanks ladies!  Woke up this morning with less pain in the stomach and didn't have to lock myself away in the bathroom all morning (so there's improvement!).  :) 

    Luckily, MH is able to take a few hours off at lunch, so he's here to give me a bit of rest in the afternoon, but I'm still stuck on what else to do to entertain K while I deal with this bug.  ugh.

    I have been doing the bananas, rice and toast (don't care much for applesauce) and have been drinking water like it's going out of style, so hopefully all that is helping.  

    But, gosh, these stomach bugs are the worst!
