Darla,

Hi, here from New-Zealand. How is your little girl with the vomiting?

I am the one that mentioned using Red Bull or Mountain Dew when my daughter -Kay begins to have one of her episodes of vomiting. I find that I need to begin the drink at the very first vomit for it to work.

I also use a homoeopathic remedy called Cocculus which is for both car sickness and the vomiting of migraines. It comes in tablet form and I give this to -Kay every half hour or so in alteration with the above drink for the first few hours tapering off as she shows improvement. Someone else that I know has also had success with 'arm bands' which is another treatment for car sickness. I have not used the arm bands myself.

Hydration is so very important and just being slightly dehydrated can trigger a vomiting episode in -Kay.

I hope your little girl is feeling better?
