Treatment of Projectile Vomiting

Sports drinks don't seem to provide any extra effect, good or bad, so drink them carefully if your body can tolerate them. Once you can keep small amounts of liquid down, the next step is food. Reach for the BRAT diet, or foods that are bland and starchy, to help settle your stomach.
