- Last time my son had the flu, his tummy-ache part came and went. When
- it hurt it hurt *bad*. Then he'd poop or throw up and a second later
- feel fine. Yes. I kept him home.
-
- Geeze, even *I* can remember throwing up with no warning when I was
- a kid. Your senses aren't as acute as they are as an adult and
- often you don't know that it's going to happen until it happens.
-
- Is it that unusual to NOT feel a lot better after emptying your
- stomach of something that's making you sick? Unless this is a pattern
- for her that's causing a problem, I say give the kid the benefit of
- the doubt here.
