Poster: A snowHead
|
The worst fear, no not avalanches, getting ill on holiday affecting your skiing!
Sitting here in Courchevel 1650, loads of snow and a dicky stomach (etc). Poor chalet mates must be worried by now for their own health.
As a matter of curiosity, anyone else out here at the moment suffering the same who travelled on Manchester - Chambery on Friday (well, Lyon as it turned out due to the weather) ?
At least they have decent toilets now, no longer the money-in-the pot ones they used to have.
Sorry for such a strange first post, a much more positive trip review will be forthcoming! Got some strength back and went out on some nice wide planks to play in the snow today. Couldn't see a lot but it felt great!
Cheers,
Paul.

Paul.W, welcome to snowheads - and get well soon. Hopefully a fellow sH will be along who can answer your question. PS I am a firm believer that Immodium is the skier's friend.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Paul.W, I have been told that Cola is good for an upset stomach, not sure why or if any other fizzy drinks are any good. Hope you are better soon.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

larry1950, flat coke is indeed one of the best DIY tretaments for an upset stomach, according to the gastro-enterology consultants my wife works with. Its helped me after a few trips in some dodgy parts...

My doctors always recommended flat full sugar lemonade when the kids had dicky tummies when they were younger. Apparently its linked to a fairly good electolyte content.

Megamum, agreed - but in fact it's any sugary, relatively isotonic drink which is good; your intestine absorbs water in three different routes biochemically - on its own, with sugar, and with salt. Lemonade/coke exploits the first two, dioralyte all three.
However, if you're not actually vomiting, not really a lot of point as an adult unless absolutely hosing.
Paul.W, welcome to s (and expert advice on all things from white snow to brown........)

larry1950, flat lucozade does the same... It also very good for hangovers!

Lemonade / coke also tastes OK
Dioralyte tastes &*^%^%&ing foul.

Lucozade says on the bottle that it isn't to be used to replace fluids lost during diarrhea, by the way.
