Home Remedy for Stomach Virus
* First, do not consume anything for a couple of hours and allow the stomach to clear up. Sip small amounts of water, apple juice or weak tea.
* After fasting for a day, introduce bland and soft food to your diet. Eat boiled rice, apples, boiled lentil broth, clear soup, etc.
* Do not consume milk, orange juice, greasy foods, tomato-based food and dairy products for a few days.
* Abstain from drinking alcohol, coffee and carbonated drinks until you recover. Start drinking lots of water and electrolyte fluids.
* Drink a solution of grapefruit seed extract (5 drops) and a glass of water. It has useful antimicrobial properties and is also an effective disinfectant.
* Drink a concoction of freshly squeezed lemon juice and water, 6-7 times a day. You can also add flat soda to the mixture.
* Drinking a glass of red or white wine after dinner is another effective solution.
* Drinking cranberry juice can do wonders to dispel stomach viruses. Consume fresh cranberry juice, without any additives.
* Stomach virus can lead to a highly fatigued body. So, do not forget to take long hours of rest.

plenty of liquids.
vanilla, lemon, calendula, green tea.
of course there’s the obvious, noodle soup, which always works, or even just chicken broth, broth works like magic.
Also, make sure you’re eating and hydrating at all times, even if you’re throwing it all up… Have some crackers and a glass of water by your side.

If the symptoms are diarhhea related, try a spoonful of Slippery Elm Bark powder twice a day.
Otherwise, Thyme helps - a decoction of seeds/leaves helps. This cleans out the stomach lining.
The most important thing though is to eat only things that are really easy to digest so that the stomach has enough energy left over after digestion to fight the virus/bacteria/infection.
