    If you’ve had a stomach flu of that variety, it totally is.

    I’ve had a flu so bad I barfed every ~ 30 minutes for over 12 hours.

      Stomach acid is also why people with some eating disorders like bulimia have badly eroded teeth. The acid from throwing up constantly eats away at your teeth.

        Yep. I’m always careful to rinse my mouth thoroughly after barfing, even if still nauseous

      But in this situation you can drink water and wash it down, preventing acid damage to your eusophagus. The author of this greentext can’t get water into their intestines.

  It’s a much shorter distance from stomach to mouth.
