gastro is horrible
gastro is contageous even for 48 hours AFTER the last episode so even after she stops, you should avoid outsiders for another 2 days!!
Some things to do which might help break the cycle are...
-stick to your own cutlery, crockery etc- dont use each others during the contageous times!!
-get some disinfectant/ antibacteria wipes- whatever you use and with either a baby wipe or a disposable cloth wash over every surface - that means door knobs, backs of chairs, front of fridge, bench tops- anything and everywhere you touch (door knobs are one of the most common places for bugs to live) But make sure you dont cross contaminate. As soon as the cloth starts to dry a little- throw it out and use another one!! I bought the disposable clothes you get from the supermarket that are impregnated with cleaning goods but otherwise make your own with a disinfectant and a baby wipe or paper towel. Also dont forget about wiping over their favourite toys too.
-Spray every room with something like Glen 20 that kills gastro germs - gatro germs can be air born- also after each of you use the toilet- use the glen 20 in the toilet and even spray the seat, flusher etc each time!
-Wash your floors with a cleaner that says it kills gastro germs in it. Also put some tea tree in the water as its a natural antiseptic
-Change bedding and washing over the bed frames too!!! A pain but so many gastro germs love to live close by to where we sleep!!. Also wipe over alarm clocks, lamp switches- everything
I use a natural cleaner that you get from Coles to disinfect everything- its the one in the purple container- can let you know what its called if you cant find it
I find the Glen 20 spray is great to cover a big distance quickly, especially toy areas and areas that you have to keep on re - disinfecting (like the toilet) to break the cycle
If you arnt keen on the Glen 20 I am sure there is a natural alternative you could make and spray using essential oils
Just be really viliagent with hygiene for a few days and it will make a huge difference!!
More importantly- let fresh air in to air out your house as much as you can- sunlight is a great disinfectant as well!!
Hugs hun and good luck

Yeah it sucks DS had it around easter and so we couldn't go away as planned and as can't go anywhere until 48hrs afterwards you feel like you are locked away from the world. I showered DS after every diarrhoea episode, probably over the top but he liked it and at least I knew he was clean. Plus no one else got it . His lasted about a week.
