  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭abouttobebanned


    Are you not Irish? Toast man! Always toast.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    Flat 7up, sure tis the only cure.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,571 ✭✭✭Aoifey!


    Tea and toast. Next comes the soup.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    This is gonna sound gross but tinned tuna with some salt and pepper and a pint of water. Works every time!

    Toast & Tea


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,194 ✭✭✭saa


    Yeah 7up but so many stores are only stocking the made in the uk stuff might as well be drinking sprite nah man!

    Yeah depends on the sickness but usually something salty and carby does the trick!

    Eat your own sick. Then vomit.

    Repeat until you are sick. Then eat it.

    Start off with toast.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭karl tyrrell


    milk milk and more milk


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    Toast with a little bit of butter and then washed down by flat 7Up.....that cures everything in Ireland!

    When I feel a bit more up to it some weetabix, that can lead to puking thru your hole tho


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭Simi


    Tayto sour cream & onion ripples.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera

    Jesus NO! I was sick a month ago and had a glass of milk. Guess what came back up? Lumpy cheese!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete


    Plain yoghurt (organic if possible) with as much fresh squeezed lemon juice in it as you can tolerate. Great for almost any illness.

    Green Thai Chicken Curry is great then when you start to pick up.

    +1. Except if you have a sore throat, in which case untoasted bread and butter would be softer and easier on the throat.

    I've never had flat 7Up but fizzy 7Up is great if you NEED to throw up; any time my stomach is unsettled and I need to throw up to get rid of it, a glass of fizzy 7Up does the job and I feel so much better afterwards. I'd say any fizzy drink would probably do the same, but 7Up is what Irish mammy's rely on so that's what I grew used to! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,317 ✭✭✭gavmcg92


    When I am that sick I tend to eat bread or toast. Then to drink, the best cure I have found for a sick stomach is the classic "flat 7up" or a glass of orange juice (for some vitamins)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,345 ✭✭✭landsleaving


    Penny sweets and flat 7up always worked for me

    If you are properly sick, you can't eat and it's the only thing you can take.

    +1 on the toast.. My mammy always gave me toast when I was sick as a kid.. and when you've been through the mill, it's the best tea and toast you've ever had..

    That's what they give you in hospital after you give birth :D pure comfort food..

    Hahah that was the same with me. When you drink the milk, you feel so much better but an hour later you're throwing up chunks of dairylea! lol :p

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,573 ✭✭✭pragmatic1


    Fried shyte on a bed of burnt hair.

    If sick at home - toast, 7up

    If sick in hospital - lucozade, rich tea and grapes


  • Posts: 0 CMod ✭✭✭✭ Allyson Creamy Possum

    A massive bowl of custard. I'm sure it looks worse than milk though on it's way back out.

    A big plate of Man-the-fuck-up. And a pint.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,137 ✭✭✭Balfie


    just had toast there, I can already feel myself gettin ready to throw it back up tho, can't hold anything down, water, 7up, Feckin nothin.. Its horrible.. :( tried to go the dub doc an they are fully booked, don't wanna go to the a n e :(


  • Posts: 0 CMod ✭✭✭✭ Allyson Creamy Possum


    toast is too heavy, dry crackers is what you need


    edit: if you can't hold down water you'll get massively dehydrated then - time for salt water attempts

    That's pretty bad, but ya gotta try drink something anyway, water or sugary tea, 7up, something. Dehydration is your enemy. Can't you ring the care-doc?
    You don't want to be vomiting for days on end, you get too weak, takes a lot out of ya.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 141 ✭✭LimeTime


    Eat something brown and then it will look like you puked up ****. All very confusing.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,083 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    Chicken soup or dry toast is best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 104 ✭✭patar


    I have a routine :D Whiskey, raw garlic- chewed, red bull, a bunch of multivitamin tablets, fcukloads of water, lemsip, raw onions and chicken soup... Cured in 12 hours *always*

    If you went to hospital that's exactly what you'd get, on a drip. A saline drip to rehydrate ya.

    This is true. Maybe get some Dioralyte into you and see how you get on.

    They dont get rid of the sickness, they just keeping your salt levels up after puking so much.

    Get off the internet and try sleep it off. The more time you spend asleep the less time you're awake puking. Easy :)
