    My doctor also suggests that when you start eating again, you use BRAT - Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast, to ease back in without upsetting your stomach again/more.

    Considering that the body is mostly water, and that it's probably one of the purest substances on earth, I rather doubt that water irritates the stomach.

    Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! DO NOT GIVE WATER under any circumstance, it induces further vomiting. Flat ginger ale or flat cola works best. Water only sets up the next round of nausea.

    water causes more vomiting - never give water without adding some sugar (2 teaspoons of light tee with sugar is ok for the beginning - at least 2 hours after vomiting)

    no no no! do NOT drink plain water this irritates the stomach. drink gatorade or lucozade to settle it and reydrate the body. soda/cola etc has high amounts of sugar that causes you to vomit more. trust me - i had a bad case of food poisoning not long ago and this is what i was recommended in hospital

    Chewing gum really helps preventing vomiting. Also, the person shouldn't eat any solid food; only cold soda like Pepsi or CocaCola. I know it sounds ridiculous, but its true, its helps. Try it out ;)
