What OTC items should we have on hand?
best beverages to treat potential electrolyte disturbAnces and dehydration? And to prevent low blood sugar during the siege of vomiting and/or diarrhea?
My understanding is that a lot of family remedies aren't really that helpful?
What is best foods to begin eating once the symptoms subside? E.g. boiled rice and rice water. Bananas ? Applesauce? Broth? Campbells chicken noodle soup?

Really, I would like to know.
Once symptoms appear it's a bit late, and maybe not possible, to be running to the pharmacy with shopping list.
