Sick, painful throw ups, what can I do to help?

Hi peeps, this morning at work I started getting stomach pains that came and went, accompanied with nausea. I ended up going back home sometime after lunch because things were slowly getting worse. Soon after I got home I threw up but it was really painful. At each "burst" it was as if someone was hitting me really hard in the stomach. It was painful enough for me to cry out in pain.
Since this after noon i've been trying to sleep while avoiding drinking or eating anything because I don't want another round of these painful throwups. I still feel some nausea though and have to occasionally shift position to avoid feeling too sick.
I'm not sure what I've got since I thought these sickness are usually accompanied with diarrhea. Is there anything I can do to stop feeling like complete crap?

Keep drinking liquids. What you don't want is the dry heaves.
Bananas are also good. They come up smooth.
Just get some rest and drink some water. If you are feeling up to it, have a cracker or two. Throwing up is painful, hopefully it will stop soon :^:
If you've got constant dry heaves or threw up bile (usually yellowish-green phlegm-looking stuff) it tends to be more serious than regular flu vomit. Same generally goes for if you have severe lower abdominal or upper chest pains (not just a sore feeling) that persist. Generally throwing up is a good sign, but occasionally it's a sign of greater gastro-intestinal problems (usually those are appendix or gall bladder related).
If you're unable to keep fluids down for 24 hours, it becomes a medical emergency.
Pain during vomiting can be quite normal - the act of vomiting is very violent on the body, and involves intense muscular action in the stomach and through the abdomen. Muscle pulls and tears are common. As long as the pain doesn't persist for long after vomiting, and as long as it subsides within 24 hours, it probably isn't serious.
That being said, if you are concerned, see a doctor. Better out then in, and better safe then sorry.
Hunker down and weather it, and if you're not better by like, now, go to the doctor.
If you arent well by now, DOCTOR!
I just went to the emergency room yesterday cause i had stomach problems. Throwing up and diarhea... very violent... all night long. Lots of stomach pain.
The cause for me was food poisoning, but there are a lot of things that can cause that, and if it persists strongly enough for long enough, you have to go to the doctor, cause it IS a serious problem.
Soda is only helpful if it's flat though.
I would say crackers (well chewed) and soup are the best things to have down.
Go to a CVS with minute clinic. They can take care of you pretty well for what it's worth.

You also should ask a doctor about this anti-emetic over-the-counter (usually goes by Bonine):

Don't take it before asking a doctor though because it may be a good thing you're throwing up. Hard to know when toxins in your body need to get out. This may be an option for the nausea should a doctor say it is though.
It's probably food poisoning (I was just hit with a bad case a few weeks ago and it was extremely painful with violent vomit until my stomach cleared out) saw the doc and he said the same thing. Drink lots of clear fluids (stay away from apple juice it can give you the runs), should be done with in about 24 hours. If it persists definitely make your way to a doctor.
A mix of gatorade with water 50/50 is what is recommended.
He lives in Canada man. Attention to detail!
I dont know about you, but if I'm vomiting so hard it's causing me to cry out in pain it's usualy something more then the sniffles. And the fact that he's firing it out at both ends could mean it's any number of things. Could even be E-Coli.

You'd think so, but ginger ale calms me right down. I actually keep a bottle of it handy just in case I'm someday nauseous, like a bottle of elixir tucked into the rear of my refrigerator.

What you had the day before is normally where the food poisoning lies.
I've never had any vomiting that wasn't a painful, violent experience.
I do like to suggest mint tea, it may be a comfort food thing but my mother made us mint tea whe we were younger and I still go to it now. Drunk luke warm and breathing in the vapours when hot are great. And it seems to help with the vomit flavour you get stuck in the back of your mouth.
If you are going to drink tea, make it ginger tea. It helps with nausea. No, really. Not as in hippy remedy.
Clinically, and Mythbusters proven!
