So like everyone else here, I have had a fear of V ever since I can remember. I will do whatever it takes to not get sick. But it has got especially worse over the last few years. I'll find myself being extremely careful which foods I eat, how they are cooked, where I eat etc.

But I also notice, that at the very first tingle in my stomach if I get a stomach ache, I start pushing on my stomach to see just how bad it is, and to see if it feels bad enough to V or not.
Does anyone else do that? If I can actually press on my stomach and it not hurt that bad, it generally calms me down.

Also, just curious what OTC meds are there to help from V. If there are any.
I was babysitting 2 1/2 year old twins today, when one of them started V all over the floor and it put me in a panic.
It's nice to know I'm not alone in this.
