How can you get sick from poison ivy? Doesn't that just cause a rash?

If you throw up a lot, try and get some sugars and salts in you to make up for what your body loses. A common remedy for nausea here is just salty water with some sugar in it.

Be warned though that if your stomach flu is caused by bacteria, eating and drinking sweets like 7up and ginger ale may worsen your condition as it ups your blood sugar levels which basically means more food for the bacteria. Get some vitamin Cs and hot tea with lots of lemon instead.
