Basic stomach bug

If you are vomiting, do not ingest anything for 4 to 6 hours. Then try a little water or flat ginger ale (carbonation can upset your tummy). The sugars in soda are easily digestible, and ginger is known to help nausea. Next, try adding in bland carbs like saltines and protein such as grilled chicken (fat should be the last thing you add). If the problem is diarrhea, do not take an antidiarrheal. It tends to plug you up and keep the toxins that are making you sick in your body longer. Hydration is key. Sip a bottle or two of reduced-sugar Gatorade or coconut water, which replace electrolytes better than water.
