Trust me, it works
At least for us.
You may or may not have read my cold/flu remedy post. If you like, you can certainly do so here.
Being a southerner, I know about a remedy for continual vomiting that worked this weekend, when phenergan did not. What is this magic cure, you ask? Well. Let me just divulge my southern heritage secret. It is none other than Coke. Not coke, as in crack. Coca-Cola. The real thing. The real recipe. And how does this famous soda cure persistant yarfing? I. don’t. know. All I do know is that 1 tablespoon (really, just one) every 15 minutes for an hour, stopped my son’s barf cold. When a prescription med did not. And why did I try this koo-koo concoction? Because my momma always did it for me. And it worked.
Real Coke only. Not diet. Not Pepsi. Not Royal Crown. Has to be Coca-Cola. After one hour of keeping a tablespoon down every 15 minutes, you can move up to a couple of swallows every 15 minutes. And judge for yourself after that.
In other remedy news. I did not make this up. I saw it (blush) on Oprah a few years ago. Preparation H shrinks puffy eye tissue. You already knew it shrank, um, other tissue. But this stuff is the best eye cream I’ve ever used. Too many margaritas and too much queso, so you wake up with your eyes swollen shut from water retention? Too many fries and a cheeseburger too big? Premenstrual? Just apply Prep. H around the lid, and under the eye. Within 15 minutes, you won’t believe the difference. Now here’s the thing. Don’t get the regular greasy stuff. Get the new aloe vera gel. Much more comfortable around the eye area. And around the other area? I don’t know. The one thing I didn’t suffer through pregnancy and attempted vaginal deliveries is hemorroids. Try it. You’ll like it. And it’s much cheaper than Clinique.
Yes, Coca-Cola! It’s the real thing. Although I am not yet plagued or even bothered by mornign sickness, Coke has always been the help for me. I. Love. COKE!
