When you have stomach flue what is the best way to stay hydrated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gatorade, pedialyte: A balanced salt and sugar solution, such as gatorade or pedialyte, is the most easily and rapidly absorbed from the stomach. Plain water is fine as well. Even if your stomach does not tolerate anything for 24 hours, it is really hard to get dangerously dehydrated in that period of time, unless you are a child, elderly, or major medical issues.
