comfort foods for illness

Vitmins open their appetite but if he's not keeping any thing down gesalts...

I like rice or toast when I have a stomach bug. Maybe a little jam on the toast. but stay away from butter or any other kinds of oils. My mom used to cook the rice in chicken broth rather than water. This way the rice got a little flavor without being over powering or needing butter. If fact...it's a good way to make rice even when you are not sick. I think ginger ale and fresh ginger are great ideas. I have heard making the ginger ale flat is better. Remember to stay hydrated. In my city there is some kind of stomch flu epidemic doing around and people are getting even more sick from not staying hydrated (a co-workers wife even fainted). So take care of yourself and hope you are both feeling better soon!

there is a stomach virus that is going around here in nh. i had it for 2 weeks, and what a hassle..all you can do is not take any anti diarral meds for it will slow the healing down. you want it to keep flushing the virus out. give plenty of gatorade/water so you both don't dehydrate and rest. that is all you really can do til it finishes its course. it can take up to 3 weeks to get rid of, and can be passed around the house. alot of lysol as well and anti bacterial soap. you don't want anything that would give you loose bowels like chocolate, apple juice, etc. for you don't want to add to the problem nor get confused on what is causing it.sorry, thats all i can suggest..

Sorry to hear that u guys aint feeling to well..Chicken soup is great for the stomach viruses, hey here are somethings that shouldn't be giving milk product's and sugarery products feeds viruses and prolongs illiness...Hope u guys feel better very soon.....
