h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

has had three separate days of sickness over the past week and a bit,
each time is separated by about two or three days, only occurs in the morning (about 1 am if that counts as morning)
and the rest of the day he is generally well, energetic and hungry. I think it's a virus that is going around however I wouldn't expect this pattern of illness I am not a doctor and as long as he is mostly well I am not too worried

now my mother in law has sent round certain foods she thinks will help... probiotics

and here is the horrible truth,
I do not believe in the benefits of probiotics
nor of anti-oxydents
nor anything else in that vein
or good bacteria

surely probiotics would help all bacteria
surely good bacteria in drinks and such is usually dead
and as for anti oxydents... well lets not get started

*deep breath*

sometimes I just need somewhere to vent
appoliogies to anyone who does believe in these things,
you are entitled to your views but I don't share them

I eat fruit because I like the taste of fruit not because of phantom particles of goodness lying in wait to battle phantom bad guys in the flora of my gut
and i do not need yoghurt to poo

Anthea

It is not that unusual for children to vomit for no apparent reason
One of my nephews does, my sister got him checked out for reassurance and to make sure there was nothing underlying
There wasn't but annoyingly despite having no other symtoms of viral infection everytime he vommed the school insisted he stay away for two days

and also that you don't need yoghurt to poo, well that is good to know

A visit to a doctor might be in order .

I am going to blame you A for this ad on the front page

Crivvens! I wonder just how many are going thorough the moction's

no one he has come in contact with (outwith school) has come down with anything


but yes isnt the spread of that virus amazing! it makes me hope people wash their hands and obay basic hygene

Hi Anthea,

This reminds me of something that VC had as a child.

The doctor advised that we stop giving her any dairy products for 7 days, including milk in tea etc.

Seems there is a bug that can live in the stomach which thrives on dairy products. The results are almost instant.

Thanks Lil,
I have been keeping him off milk for the past few days, hopefully things are looking good

how has he been today ?

no problems today, hopefully this will continue

thank you for the update love and I also hope that the bug doesn't pass on to the rest of you

that is good to hear, *keeps fingers crossed*
