Taking a sick day

Well, I'm not, but Andy is. He woke up at 1 a.m. with an upset stomach and has been sick on and off ever since. I finally convinced him at 5:30 to stay home from work today - I don't think he'd get much done if he's running to the bathroom every hour. He doesn't feel feverish, or anything, so I'm guessing that it's not the flu - maybe it's something he ate? (Makes me nervous; we had the same stuff yesterday!) But I honestly don't have a CLUE what you're supposed to do for someone with an upset stomach. So, I've been searching for cures/remedies online... it's crazy what people suggest! (Mustard and crackers, anyone?! He HATES mustard. I'm sure if I gave him that, he'd just lose it all again.) I think I'll stick to the advice from the Cleveland Clinic's Web site and WebMD.
(Side note: It's so weird to see him sick enough to stay home from work - I've never known him to take a sick day, ever. I mean, this is the guy who went to work after getting his wisdom teeth pulled! I feel so bad for him!)
