my niece and nephew visit frequently.
they are 1 and 4.

my mother and i constantly obtain a stomach flu from them.
just from contact from food we share!
is this possible?
would anyone have any idea wut this could be ?
it is in the digestive tract ie wen we eat,it upsets stomach.

Try not to share food with them. Wash your hands and theirs right before you sit down.(so there is no time to put them on something besides the food) The flu can be cpassed but my bet if this is happening each time you share food it may be food poisoning of some sort.

ok but this is very bizarre.

the stomach discomfort lasts a good month.it is like nausea after eating, and almost stomach acid problems.

indigestion.

its a feeling as if u are sick to your stomach.

Pert are you eating different types of foods than you normally do when the kids are there? I would ask your Dr next you see him/her. Lasting a month? that is strange.
