When you have the stomach flu there's not really too much you can do to speed up the process of getting rid of the stomach flu.

But you can do some things to make you feel a little better during your stomach flu.

Things you can do when you have the stomach flu are to stay hydrated, avoid dairy products etc.

To stay hydrated you can try sucking on ice or sipping water slowly or even sipping on broth can help with the stomach flu.

When you have the stomach flu you should let your stomach settle and ease back into eating some foods that are bland such as Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast which is also known as the BRAT diet.

Get plenty of rest and avoid caffeine and just give it time as the stomach flu can last from 7 to 10 days.

Some people get over the stomach flu within 3 days but sometimes it can last longer.

Stomach flu is rarely serious and there's not much a doctor can do about it so just let it run it's course and sometimes if you feel like you need to vomit and can't vomit you should force yourself to vomit by gagging yourself.

When my stomach is hurting and I can't throw up on my own I will force myself to throw up by gagging myself by just doing what I would do when I throw up.

Getting that stuff out of my stomach makes me instantly feel better instead of it just sitting in my stomach.
