They also didnt allow me to drink anything, since I would just throw it up, I begged them for water and all they said was no, you need iv right now... so really if not treated, it can get serious.

Same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago, I went to the hospital for it. Constant diaarhea and vomiting. They said it was a virus. I needed 5 packs of ivs for being so dehydrated. Id go get checked out by a dr. Asap. It went away the next day, a d returned the day after that. So be careful. Go to the hospital

Dont worry about food right now just drink lots of water, Electrolyte water/Gatorade.  I had this Friday.  I drank and just drank at first.  At first I felt drinking was just causing it more but after about 3/4 a Gatorade it started to slow down.  Then when I did finally eat I ate light, bread with turkey meat.  And I used moist wipes when I went to the bathroom so ithurt less to wipe.  Hope that helps.

I agree with kenna. Applesauce and bananas are suppose to thicken things up. I would go buy some pedialyte though. Just to stay hydrated and keep your electrolytes up. And if you think your dehydrated go to the hospital!
