Jesse: Make sure she is not brushing her teeth directly after
vomiting...the acid gets scrubbed into the teeth that way. She should do
a good rinse with a mild flavored mouth wash first if she can tolerate
it, followed by water, then brush her teeth. Learned about this from
working with bulemics.

She has done the Ginger Ale, soda and crackers, soda water,
ginger<br>tablets, ginger sauce, lemon and water.....that's all I know.
Never<br>heard of the rubbing alcohol thing. Hmmm. She has been so sick
that her<br>doctor is worried about the stomach acid causing problems
with her teeth<br>and esophagus. Yikes.<br><br> <br><br>Judy Browning
