How to stop vomiting and diarrhea in adults?

My wife has been having severe vomiting and diarrhea for the past day, and she's feeling very drained. What can we do to stop this in adults? I'm worried it might be food poisoning.

The main goal for adults facing this is preventing severe dehydration. Sip ORS or electoral water slowly throughout the day, and avoid solid food for a few hours. If the vomiting is non-stop or you see blood, please go to a hospital immediately.

Oh no, you must be feeling so weak! Don't stress too much, just focus on resting today. Drink lots of ORS and take it very easy on your stomach. If it doesn't settle down by tomorrow, just promise me you'll see a doc, okay?

I totally get it, dealing with an upset stomach and vomiting at the same time is absolutely exhausting and draining. Just lie down, rest, and try to take tiny sips of coconut water or warm water. Please take care of yourself.

This is so worrying because dehydration can happen so fast in adults when both ends are affected. Please make sure you are passing urine normally. If you feel extremely thirsty or lightheaded, please don't wait and consult a doctor right away.

Don't try to self-medicate with random antibiotics or anti-diarrheal pills. Stick to ORS and curd-rice for now. If you've been throwing up for more than 12 hours, you need to see a doctor and get properly checked.

Man, this happened to me after eating some sketchy street food last week. Sucking on ice chips and slowly sipping sports drinks was the only thing that kept me alive. Definitely see a doc if it doesn't stop.

At this age, a simple plate of outside food can trigger a complete system reboot! Stick to simple electral water and give your stomach a break from all solid food. If it goes on, go to the doctor before you lose all your energy.
