Being Sick
http://www.faqs.org/health/Sick-V2/Food-Poisoning.html
People with food poisoning should modify their diet during the period of illness. They should drink clear liquids frequently, but in small amounts. As their condition improves, soft, bland foods can be added to the diet. A commonly recommended diet is called the BRAT diet. The BRAT diet gets its name from the four foods it includes: banana, rice, applesauce, and toast. Milk products, spicy food, alcohol, and fresh fruit should be avoided until all symptoms disappear. These dietary changes are often the only treatment necessary for food poisoning.
In all cases of food poisoning except botulism, the major concern is dehydration. Diarrhea and vomiting both result in the loss of water and electrolytes from the body. Electrolytes are chemicals that control many important body functions. When they are lost, normal body functions may be disrupted. This problem can be especially serious in young children and elderly people.
Simple dehydration is easily treated. Over-the-counter (non-prescription) fluids that restore electrolytes can be purchased in any drug store. These fluids are usually pleasant tasting and restore lost water and electrolytes efficiently. If dehydration is serious, further treatment may be necessary. Fluids may have to be injected directly into a person's bloodstream.
In very serious cases of food poisoning, medications may be given to stop cramping and vomiting. Nothing should be done to stop diarrhea, however. Diarrhea helps remove toxins from the body.
In some cases, doctors may decide to use drugs to treat food poisoning. The most frequently prescribed antibiotics are a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole (pronounced tri-METH-o-prim and SULL-fuhmeth-OCK-suh-zole, trade names Septra, Bactrim), ampicillin (pronounced AMP-ih-SIL-in, trade names Amcill, Polycill), or cip
oxacin (pronounced SIP-ro-FLOK-suh-sin, trade names Ciloxan, Cipro).
edit: when i got turbo food poisoning last year (nothing....nothing....nothing....heave...heave....OH GOD NO! BLEUGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)
took about a week to get back to normal, was taking allsorts of meds, antibiotics, electroytic supplements and a lot of water

havent eaten or drank since the incident lol
i will prob just drink water 2moz if i can manage it
You can buy stuff over the counter to help stop you being sick - Motilium is a good one if you can keep it down long enough, if not then Buccastem M doesn't have to be swallowed but it's not always as effective if there's irritation in the stomach itself. You will have to ask at the pharmacy counter for these (and Buccastem M is only licensed for migraines for some random reason, though it is used more widely on prescription).
Sipping tepid water is the best way to prevent getting dehydrated, but if you start feeling really rotten (overly sleepy or headachey) then something like the Dioralyte drinks can be helpful as above (though they do taste rotten). If there's any blood or it goes on at this level of severity for more than a day or two, time to see GP.
