Stomach Flu Easy Remedies

Many a times, improper or unhygienic food habits may lead to viral
infections in the stomach and intestines. Medically, such an infected
condition is termed as 'Viral Gastroenteritis'. Swallowing any of the
different viruses, including rotavirus, adenovirus or the norwalk virus,
might initiate the problem. The infection is also communicable and
sometimes develops from physical contact with an infected person and even
spreads through infected utensils, food and drink. Once these viruses
enter your digestive tract, they damage the linings of the various organs,
thereby leading to stomach cramps, dizziness, vomiting, fever, loss of
appetite, chills and muscle ache. Though the symptoms sound quite
hazardous, various home remedies can easily help you to get rid of the
problem. Check out some easy-to-follow cure and treatment of stomach
viruses here.

Home Remedy for Stomach Virus


First, do not consume anything for a couple of hours and allow the
stomach to clear up. Sip small amounts of water, apple juice or weak
tea.
After fasting for a day, introduce bland and soft food to your diet.
Eat boiled rice, apples, boiled lentil broth, clear soup, etc.
Do not consume milk, orange juice, greasy foods, tomato-based food and
dairy products for a few days.
Abstain from drinking alcohol, coffee and carbonated drinks until you
recover. Start drinking lots of water and electrolyte fluids.
Drink a solution of grapefruit seed extract (5 drops) and a glass of
water. It has useful antimicrobial properties and is also an effective
disinfectant.
Drink a concoction of freshly squeezed lemon juice and water, 6-7
times a day. You can also add flat soda to the mixture.
Drinking a glass of red or white wine after dinner is another
effective solution.
Drinking cranberry juice can do wonders to dispel stomach viruses.
Consume fresh cranberry juice, without any additives.
Stomach virus can lead to a highly fatigued body. So, do not forget to
take long hours of rest.
