Do you keep eating when you're vomiting?

Question

Since last night I've been throwing up everything, even just crackers. I can't decide if it's worth it to keep forcing food down when I know I'm going to be puking either way. If I eat, I throw it up. If I don't eat, I'm dry heaving. I'm trying to keep down some Gatorade, but I'm ready to give up on food. Any tips for these kind of days?

Answer

Pedialyte! It’s really good when you’re throwing up during pregnancy. It rehydrates you and replenishes electrolytes. It also helps to settle an upset stomach. That’s what I drank when I was throwing up. It helped out a lot in making me feel better. I personally like the grape. If I get the flavorless one I usually have to mix it with Sprite. lol. 
It is a bit on the pricey side in my opinion, but they also have the off brand. That’s what I used to save some money. 
I hope you get to feeling better! Good Luck! :)

Answer

Could you try drinking soup broth? It at least has nutrients in it so it’s better than not eating. Even if you end up throwing it up, your body will absorb some of it.

Answer

When I get like that, I just try to keep down Gatorade or ginger ale. You can dehydrate yourself more if you keep forcing your body to eat. If you can't keep fluids down, then after 24 hours I think it is, you need to go to the hospital for fluids. When my kids get the stomach bug they get nothing to eat or drink until they stop throwing up, and then it's tiny sips for a few hours until they can keep that down, and then it's saltine crackers as their only food until their strength is back, if that helps at all.

Answer

It’s a weird thing, but I find that as i feel quite a bit better after throwing up, the food i eat after that is sometimes the only food i can keep down for the day. Just be careful to eat things that aren’t likely to make you feel sick though.
