Sorry she's not feeling well. And you're right, there's very little that a doctor could do if it's just a stomach virus or reaction to spoiled/contaminated food. Sounds like a great excuse to lay low in pjs all day. Hope she feels better soon.
I'd skip the milk and caprisun, the sugar in the juice and the milk itself could be very hard on her system.
Good luck!
I would definitely keep up the BRAT diet (and maybe pedialyte pops, if you think they're a good idea) and skip any dairy or sugar. I've also added in a little (plain, boiled, unseasoned) shredded chicken if my kids seemed famished, just for some protein. Only when they seem on their way back to being well, though.
Honestly, at this point, I'd see a doctor. I know I asked you the other day, but is her throat red or has she complained of any throat pain? I took L in just for vomiting once and it was strep.
I wouldn't send my kids to preschool even with no vomit if they were sleeping all day and eating only the diet you described. Unless they're back to a full diet and feeling well, school is not the place to be. Would you really want to send her to school as miserable as she's feeling?!
PS - no throat pain, no fever. Just a sleepier weekend. And of course this new occurrence of throwing up!
oh, funny story. We were in the car a couple weeks ago and S started coughing, choked and vomited. J started coughing a minute later and L said "J, KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLOSED!!!"
I just turned 50 and fabulous!!! Enjoying life with my amazing family!!
