My son has had a stomach virus for about a week now and isn't getting over it very quickly. The Doc wants him on a BRAT diet, but he will only do the banana's and nothing else. He really hasn't ate a decent meal in about a week. They said just let it run it's course, but being a single mom with no money coming in isn't helping the situation. I want him better so he's back to my happy little guy. Any secret ideas that I might now have tried.

If he is throwing up, ice is not good. Water will cause the barf reflex to go crazy. Flat ginger ale is good though. And Flat cola.

i ment letting your ginger ale water down from the ice.

I know this might sound crazy,But if he has a flu.The best thing is a laxative.Sounds nuts I know.But has never failed yet.Just a thought.Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
