Stomach bug - what to eat?

[Mamma2004]

I awoke with horrible abdominal pain today and finally succumbed to a nasty stomach virus this morning. I have ingested sips of seltzer totaling about 12-13 ounces.

Now my 22-hour fast has left me very weak (and grateful to my absolutely ANGELIC DS!!!!!).

I'm much better as Mamma; as patient, I can't think straight. Is there anything I might eat to give me a little energy...that might actually, well, not reappear in negative fashion?

TIA for any suggestions - DH will not be home for a few hours and I am getting weaker by the minute. Again, thank heaven for darling little DS who has behaved perfectly!

You need to drink gatorade to replenish your body with the electrolytes that it's lost.

Then I'd start with some crackers or saltines for a day and move on to white foods until your body has recuperated and you can eat normal food again.

good luck!

Man, I had this over Christmas, it SUCKED. Hope you are better soon (it took me about a week!).

Gatorade. Saltines. BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast). I did that for a few days. Strangely, I didn't lose weight?!

Yes, BRAT plus yogurt too - the plainer, the better.

Ooooh, I have plain yogurt - maybe that would help! No B or R but we do have the "AT" portion of the diet. That's a start.

Thanks, Ladies!
