I've found avocado really helpful when I've been feeling unwell recently
Salty crisps
Sweet fruit

Ready salted crisps
plain bread toasted with a wee scraping of butter and scrambled egg if I can stomach it.

Full fat juice -Irn Bru is my favourite.

Miso soup to start.
If I can keep that down, then plain toast.

If a stomach bug I have marmite on toast and see how I go with that.

Having just been laid low by a horrendous cold for the week, can confirm I have survived on Heinz tomato soup and marmite on toast!

When other people are poorly, I make 'poorly soup'. Chicken stock, with carrots, onions, spuds, bacon and chicken. Reduce down/thicken with cornflour and add a drop of cream. Lovely.

Expensive hot chocolate always makes me feel better

GiantKitten · 15/12/2019 17:12

Though I suppose milk might not be the best idea Confused

Have you been vomiting? You need something plain if you have, and lay off dairy. Digestive biscuits or a slice of toast.

Not vomiting but very nauseous! It's all come out the other end Envy (not envy!) I'd love a tomato soup but we've none in. Really fancied a macaroni cheese pasta n sauce but no one to go to the shop Sad has to be something we already have!
