I would recommend the brat diet for a few days here's alittle info on it hope this helps

The BRAT diet is a diet for patients with gastrointestinal distress such as diarrhea, dyspepsia, and/or gastroenteritis. The BRAT diet is a bland diet that consists of foods that are low in fiber. Low-fiber foods were recommended as it was thought that foods high in fiber cause gas and possibly worsen gastrointestinal upset.[1]

An acronym, BRAT is a mnemonic for bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast, the staples of the diet.[1] Extensions to the BRAT diet include BRATT (with tea), BRATTY (with tea and yogurt), and BRATCH (with chicken, often boiled). Sometimes the "T" represents tapioca.

Stay hydrated, if it lasts to long and u feel weak, go to ER. They can stop it and make sure u don't go into pre - term labor from dehydration.

If you have a stomach virus, your best course of action is to stay hydrated & let it run its course. The reason you keep going or vomiting is because your body is getting rid of the virus, if you stop it, the illness will last longer. It *****-but unfortunately that's the truth.
