How do you get rid of the lingering queasy feeling - after throwing up - that was caused by drinking fruit juice that was apparently off?

Answer 1

The lingering queasy feeling, if it's not making you throw up more, is your body's way of slowing you down so you can fight off the attack. The attack is usually a toxin produced by a micro-organism that thinks the fruit juice is just as nutritious as you think it is. The toxins produced are myriad and have a variety of effects, but the most common one you're experiencing now. Eat foods that are easy on the stomach for a few days. Drink plenty of fluids. Keep an eye out for electrolyte balance (you can eat bananas for this, drink fruit juice (yeah -- I know), or my favorite: Sports drinks like Gator-Aid or Pedia-Lyte. Pepto-bismol-like remedies also help. If you can't keep anything down at all for more than 24 hours, time to talk to your doc, as dehydration and electrolyte imbalance can get serious. Otherwise, sleep today and let that queasy feeling do what it's intended to do: make you rest ;}
