I'm dealing with food poisoning and it's causing a lot of stomach pain. I've also been throwing up a few times. I'm really unsure about what to do and I'm curious about any tablets that might help. Can you advise me on this?

For food poisoning with stomach pain and vomiting, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, such as oral rehydration solutions (ORS) like Electral or coconut water; consider taking anti-emetic medications like Ondansetron or Metoclopramide to control vomiting, and antacids like Ranitidine or Omeprazole to reduce stomach acid

I've had jaundice before, but I'm doing well now. I'm thinking about using Liv 52 as a regular detox thing. How many Liv 52 tablets should I take a day? And is there a limit on how long I can use it without worrying?
