I was sicker w/ my daughter than w/ my son Brenda, so maybe! But I never actually puked with either. I have heard from a lot of people that Zofran works great. I always chewed gum, spearmint is supposed to help just like ginger, but smelling the mint made it less likely that I'd smell anything else, so it seemed to help. But I know most people get a lot sicker than I do.

Gatorade is said to actually not help with hydration. It's made to help extreme sports people that are sweating heavily, it replenishes sodium and potassium. If you aren't heavily sweating, you don't need to replenish your sodium and potassium, so you are pretty much just left w/ sugar and too much sodium, which can act as a diuretic and dehydrate you. Water is pretty much the best thing for regular hydration. At least, this is what I've read from a few different sources, Dana can correct me if I'm wrong since I have no medical expertise, but the places I read that from do.
