mytwomonkeys Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 i've read that if you drink a ton of welch's grape juice, it prevents stomach bugs. here's a blog that says so & if you google it, others say the same thing. i've never tried it though and have no idea if it works.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrygal Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Garlic is an antiviral (anti-everything i think!) You can mince up a clove and put it in applesauce so it's easy to swallow. But, odds are he'll spit it out and everyone will get it anyway. Sorry for the flu. It bites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkermamaof4 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Woohoo! We even have 100% grape juice boxes here from a trip! Drinking now! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtoamiracle Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I'd probably add a bit of good quality yogurt with probiotics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, it doesn't say a thing about stomach bug. Does it help with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Oscillococcinum works for stomach viruses, too? It works for the flu - isn't that a stomach virus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenL Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 It works for the flu - isn't that a stomach virus? The flu is a common term for the stomach virus, but the real flu is categorized by high fever, dry cough, fatigue, body aches, stuffyness, headaches... Sometimes the real flu (I should say influenza) does contain vomiting or diarrhea, but not that often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 It works for the flu - isn't that a stomach virus? I don't think so. Not usually. Influenza is what we call 'flu' with fever, aches, respiratory junk, chills, aches, etc. Sometimes, we get upset stomachs to accompany. "Stomach Flu" doesn't really exist. It's how most people refer to gastroenteritis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cylau Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I use this probiotics: http://www.vitacost.com/jarrow-formulas-jarro-dophilus-eps-120-vegetarian-capsules I know it works for stomach flu virus for adults. I am sure you can use it on kids. It's just like yogurt culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in KS Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Sambucol. Pronto. When my youngest got very sick with swine flu, i realized the siblings were exposed because we shared out of a common bowl right before he fell sick. We all started taking it right away and no one else got sick. My sick son only had it 3-4 days as well, when we were told it'd be at least a week. But you have to start it right away or it doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
