You went on an Alaskan cruise. Great trip but you seem to have brought the "stomach flu" back with you and now you have been repeatedly and uncontrollably vomiting. What acid-base disturbance are you now at risk of developing? A few hours later, the vomiting has stopped, thank GOD, but now you're enjoying explosive watery diarrhea. Will this just add to the previous potential acid-base problem or might it help correct it?
