Dudes. Food poisoning is no flippin' joke, yo. Was ok enough last night that dinner was yummy and stayed down. Today? Tummy says, "NO! We only accept Gatorade and vanilla ice cream today! Piss off brown rice and delicious pork chop!"
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Obey the tummy, or it will make you wish you were a head in a jar.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ugh. Food poisoning sucks.
A nurse friend of mine told me that Pedialite (or generic equivalent) is better for upset tummies and pukies than Gatorade.

Yes, Gatorade has so much sugar in it. For me, when I have an upset stomach, sugar makes me even more nauseated, so I've never been a gatorade fan. The vitamin waters are good, not too sweet.

Sadly, I only had a neighborhood liquor store so my pickings were slim this afternoon. But the Gatorade actually helped before, so I'm hopeful this time.

When I was a kid and having chronic kidney and bladder infections, I was essentially force-fed Gatorade by my doctors for the better part of 3 years. To this day the idea of drinking it voluntarily makes me gag.
But I'm glad it's working for Aims!

Why Gatorade for the infections? I'm curious.

Well, the alternative was a prescription electrolyte replacement drink that tasted like cat pee. It was in addition to the antibiotics.

Was it to help balance out the pH levels or summat in your UT?
(Sorry for being pokery in your bizniss - with my frequent UTI's and what not, I'm curious as to anything anyone has done to alleviate them.

I wish I could remember, but I was 6 - I don't think my doctors ever gave me a real explanation, just "you have to drink this yellow stuff that tastes like cat pee....or some Gatorade...."
