advice

Okay, I took peoples advice yesterday and stayed home... very good advice. Anyway, since all I ate yesterday were 2 pieces of toast with jam and I drank about 4oz of ginger ale and a few sips of gatorade, there's pretty much nothing for my body to reject and all I've done was dry heave (only twice, but still). Am I better off eating something and vomiting that up, or am I better off with dry heaves (or whatever it's called when nothing actually comes up but you still vomit)? I just wasn't sure if dry heaving is worse for you than actually throwing something up. Oh, and my mouth is dry and I want to drink something. I have 2 eight-ounce cans of ginger ale and I've got gatorade and water. I've always been taught ginger ale is best for the upset stomach. So my 2 questions are, which is worse, dry heaving or vomiting up something, and should I drink something even if I know I'll probably bring it back up? Thanks in advance.

in addition to dairy and oils, you should also avoid complex carbs like bread and potatoes for a few weeks. ease your way back onto foods. start with melon which is mostly water than work your way through the rest of the fruits. then veggies. oils. complex carbs. you should also be drinking a lot of gatorade for electrolytes that you're losing when you throw up. you most likely won't throw up the gatorade, but just in case, don't drink the red kind. you'll never drink it again if you do.
