Dreading the Flu Season - Colds & Flu Message Board

I am totally dreading the flu season already. I have four kids between the ages of 4 and 12 and every year at least 2-3 times we have the stomach flu run it's course thru our household. This is totally debillitating and catastrophic, especially when it happens during Thanksgiving and X-mas, as in the last two years. Any advise on how to avoid it or at least keep everyone in the house from getting it?? Thanks, Janet

Hi, younger, thanks for replying. Yes, my kids take a multi vitamin, but it is Flinstones Vitamins, so that may not qualify as high quality!! Then I have them take a chewable vit. C. Do you know what kind your grandchildren take? My kids are between the ages of 4 and 12, so taste is an issue! Thanks again! Janet
