Ways to calm upset stomach?

[StarSwirl05]

Pepto Bismol comes to mind. Not sure whether you have that where you live.

BRAT diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast) when she's able to eat.

Ginger is a good one, if you go with Ginger Ale, be sure it's a brand that has actual ginger in it, apparently they don't all and give it a stir to remove the carbonation. If she's loosing a lot, be sure to watch for signs of dehydration. A drink like pedialyte is a good suggestion too, as it will help keep dehydration at bay better than just water. White Grape juice is good too, I was told not to give applejuice by a nurse as it can encourage diarrhea if the tummy is upset, although I know a lot of people give it and say it's not an issue. I was told White Grapejuice is better as it doesn't have that effect and kids love it.

I hope you little on is better soon. It's just awful watching them when they're sick, it's such a helpless feeling and so sad to see them like that. Sending healing thoughts your way...

Thanks everyone! She is better now and back to school. She did say her stomach hurt a little yesterday. My son has it now though:( It's definitely a tough illness to get rid of!

Drink the liquid from a can of peaches in heavy syrup. The bug goes with the stomach contents and the remaining sickness is reflexive. The sugary peach syrup changes the chemistry in the stomach.
