Hi can anyone help with regards to having a tummy bug when Type 2?
I've had 2 bugs in the last 4 weeks and both times it wiped me out and took a few days to recover, does it take our bodies longer to recuperate?? Also what do ppl find to drink iv really struggled to keep hydrated as I just wanted something with sugar in
Thanks in advance
 
Sorry you've been ill @Helynb_

I drink water or, if it tastes 'off' due to illness, I sometimes add some sugar-free squash.

Two tummy bugs in the last four weeks sounds nasty. Are you sure they're bugs rather than a reaction to meds or food?
 
There is a nasty bug going around - playing havoc with the last few weeks of the school term with up to 2/3rds of classes absent because of it - and it seems that one dose doesn't confer any immunity. Some people have had 3 or 4 episodes.

Sounds very unpleasant : /
 
It's definitely a bug I have 2 young boys who have suffered as well. Ones missed his last day at preschool today I just don't know what to do it's been horrid last few weeks. No matter what I tried to stay away, clean and sanitised it's got me. But as a mum u have to look after ur children. I know lots have been off with it these past few weeks
 
Same here in South Yorkshire although it does seem to be confined to children at the moment.
 
I'd suggest just drink plenty of mineral water and stay away from dairy foods as much as possible.

I used to work in a care home and bugs like that would go right through the house - the only thing to do is wear protective gloves and disinfect things that those who are contagious might have touched. That hand get stuff works quite well but not as good as nitrile glives.
 
Thank you. That's the thing I hate water!! I really wish I could drink it but no matter how hard I try it just doesn't like me. I've managed some dry crackers this evening.
