Hello,

Welcome to JA. Unless you have some other serious health problems, this sounds like typical viral gastroenteritis that passes in a few days. You should try to sip some broth and Gatorade so you don't become dehydrated. Sips of liquids every few minutes will sometimes not trigger a vomiting reaction like a whole glassful of something will. There is no need to eat anything for a couple of days until your digestive system settles down again. Here is some more information.
