Hi,
Do not drink anything for at least an hour after the last time you vomit.
Then try dry toast/ginger-ale.
I went through the same ordeal when I put down alcohol.
Make sure however that theres no fever. Like bsp said, could be a stomach virus.
I hope you feel better soon! Jen

dear Tigger -

This is the time to make sure he sees a doctor and gets a thorough checkup. Remember this is not a medical site, and just as you wouldn't entrust your electrical wiring to non-professionals, it's a good idea not to seek medical advice from anyone but a doctor. I hope your "abf" is going to 12 step meetings when he can too...

best,
Guy
