"Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea. Yay, Pepto-Bismol."

Pepto doesn't ever seem to do anything for me.

Sure its called, Emetrol. Generic is cola syrup.

It depends on what the nausea is caused from. If it reflux or food related (acid stomach) then zantac (ranitidine) or prilosec OTC will help. The ranitidine will work a little quicker. If the nausea is caused by motion sickness, then I would recommend meclizine. If the nausea is caused by taking medication, sometimes taking it with food can help

pretty good advice there - although don't worry about the prilosec for anything fast acting - it is a long term med, you have to be on for multiple days prior to its efficacy being reached

Well, I just felt it coming on, and thought - oh crap, I clicked on save, and then made it over to the garbage can. I just puked my brains out. I feel a lot better. I guess it was food poisoning?

I highly doubt it. If it was food poisoning, you would be doing A LOT more than just throwing up once. I don't really think I need to go into more details.

Also, home remedies are sometimes better than pharmeceuticals. Try eating some salty pretzels and drinking some flat soda.
