@Nathalie Khoury can you provide more details please. Is the source known (i.e. viruses, bacteria, parasites, etc)?
What are the symptoms you’re all experiencing? Hope you guys are doing ok…

Not sure! for us (me and the kids) it was quick, mine lasted less than 24h, extreme fatigue, nausea and diarrhoea – but everyone around me seems to have caught the same thing except that it’s lasting a few days so I was just wondering if there’s anything that can help them and so i’m also ready in case it happens again

@Nathalie Khoury best prevention is to support immunity. So making sure everyone’s vitamin D, zinc and A levels are optimal is the best prevention. For kids, consider cod liver oil as it’s a great source of vitamin A and vitamin D. Also support a healthy microbiome with a variety of fermented foods and/or probiotics.
And when we don’t know what it might be, I also support overall immunity and follow my general “when getting sick” protocol HERE for kids.
And I support the symptoms accordingly. So for nausea, check these tips in the Symptom Dictionary handout (I’ll create a nausea protocol for next month). Ginger & peppermint teas can be helpful. Nox vomica homeopathy may be helpful. Applying pressure on the inner wrists too. Activated charcoal may have some use here too.
For diarrhea, I allow it to happen as it’s the body’s way of flushing out whatever it’s trying to get rid of. But it’s important to be hydrating to replenish lost fluids; coconut water is great. Electrolytes and filtered water is another option. If it persists for a few days however, I would also take activated charcoal in between meals and increase soluble sources of fiber to help bind up the stool (i.e. chia seeds, psyllium husk, rice bran, etc).
Hope this helps.
