  1. Sorry to let you down, but having the stomach virus once doesn't immune you from getting it again.  Get plenty of rest, eat well, stay hydrated and try to stay away from anybody you know might have the virus.  That's the best info I can give you.


  2. Your immune system remembers every sickness you have had.  Therefore if the same infection comes around again your immune is equipped to handle it without you even getting sick.  The bad news is it may be a whole different virus going around this time.  Best advice would be to always wash your hands, take your vitamins, and stay well rested.  Good luck !

  3. Agree with the poster above - the virus is almost always different every time. Though most cases of stomach upset are not due to a virus, just some food or something irritating the stomach.
