i had two bouts of really bad gastro whilst bf-ing. both times, i mean, like "most of the night on the toilet - lost 3kg overnight" type gastro.

i kept bf-ing my baby and SHE DIDN"T GET SICK! the breastmilk screens out the mother's sickness. INCREDIBLE!!

the 2nd time, i was so ill my milk dried up for a day, which was scary (i was unprepared for that).

so my advice would be, if you can, to express and store some BM, JIC your milk dries up for a short time.

or stock up up some organic formula like Holle. JIC you need it.

i was totally unprepared, and had to buy a huge tin of unsuitable formula at the local chemist cos i was too sick to drive any further and just had to buy the 1st thing i was shown.

keep drinking water petal, dry crackers, no fruit, no milk.

i hope you get better soon.
