What to eat when your poorly

[vampiress88]

So my youngest is still off with a bug that she so kindly shared with me.

Feel like death warmed up and would stay in bed all day if I had the choice.

Dunno what we should eat. Usually my youngest will eat anything and even when poorly doesn’t usually stop her.
She’s had toast- didn’t like it.
Soup- ate a few spoonfuls.

She says she wants McDonald’s when asked this morning. Now she feels worse and wants nothing.

Best she has had is Apples.

I’ve had a few ginger biscuits as it stops me feeling sick. Unfortunately raided the Christmas ones from ikea.

I’m thinking try scrambled eggs for her?
Eldest luckily has school dinners so can eat light tonight.

Dunno what we got but It’s not very nice.

I am sorry you are both suffering. If your DD’s appetite is usually OK, I would say don’t worry. She will eat when she wants to. I hope you are both feeling well soon.

Homemade chicken soup, I boil onion, potato’s, chicken breast, veg of your choice. We like sweet corn, carrots and green beans and celery. Add a stock cube and some salt, Then thicken with cornflour, you can just eat the soup part or eat it with veg and chicken. Xx

When we have dodgy tummies, its nothing at all apart from water. Then once you've had 24 hours clear its a quarter of a piece of toast. Hold it down, a half piece. No milk products for 48 jours at least.

You have to drink lots of water though to flush it through. You don't want to give the bug anything to live on!

I too am struggling with what to eat, it’s not the tummy bug in my case it is a really heavy cold 😕 I have zero energy and zero appetite at the moment. I have actually stayed in bed most of the day as I am too dizzy when I get up.

I made some leek and potato soup yesterday so I may have that.

Hope you both feel better soon

Mashed potato for me when I’m feeling like that
Toast or a rich tea biscuit first, if I can manage that the it’s mashed potato for me

I picked up a tummy bug in Budapest last week. Both my boyfriend and I were really ill and could only eat plain biscuits the following day when we had to fly and drive home. We ate crusty bred in the evening and were feeling brave enough to have some tinned spaghetti with it the following day.

The school run has just about killed me.

Struggling with even moving.

Gonna give kids eggs.
But I doubt she will eat it.

My immune system is shot I pick up everything.

Hope she’s better for her birthday.

I've heard you should follow the BRAT diet for a poorly tum

Bananas
Rice
Apples
Toast

Apparently they are all easy on the stomach.

Hope you feel better soon
