When I was very young and had a stomach flu that wouldn’t stop, our family doctor actually recommended to my mom that she microwave coke to flatten it and give it to me to drink–this works because of the sugar and salt in the drink that help rehydrate you the way that drinking only water cannot. Gatorade works quite well too and is found in pharmacies in Mexico quite often (I learned this when I got a tummy bug there).

The last time I was sick to my stomach, I set my husband out for juice and cut it with water, but my situation wasn’t so bad–if it had been, I would have added salt.

The rice water also makes perfect sense to me–particularly if you salt it.

WE live overseas and sometimes find it hard to get good medical advice. We have a book with home remedies and often get online to try out home remedies. Unfortunately, they often don’t work and we end up going to the doctor for meds.

I’ve got one for you Nicole. Grandpa was fond of mixing a teaspoon of baking soda with a glass of warm water, and drinking it down. Kinda salty, but not the worst tasting thing. I always thought it worked pretty well.

My mom swore that Sprite and crackers or plain white bread made her feel better no matter what. I’m a big fan of cold ginger ale and Tums (but not together).

The docs are turning more and more to home remedies and housewife cures…. They fobbed honey off for years but now they are taking a new serious look at it.

In one study I read where they used Honey to treat burns, it was far far more effective than the commercial burns formula’s that they tested.

Even I love rice, but boiled rice water?? Ewww… Hope you and the Mr. feel better soon!

Ah for the stomach ailment there is not much you can do but ride it out and drink lots of clear liquids…eat soft foods to give your stomach a rest.

But for a sore throat… lots of gargling with salt water and drinking a shot of tequila. Sipping tea with lemon and honey doesn’t hurt either!

Get well soon! I have to say that the rice water idea is actually probably quite sound. Rice water would basically contain all the starch that would run off the rice, and many doctors agree that starchy foods help ease nausea and morning sickness. It would be the same thing as eating the saltine crackers, without the salt..and cracker..haha
