Food when feeling sick

Ongoing issue, I have an endoscopy booked for 3 weeks time. Until then, what would you recommend for a coeliac to eat who feels sick all the time?! I feel like I'm living on plain crisps and ginger biscuits and I'm a bit sick of it. Very very hungry but don't want to feel any worse!

Full fat Greek yogurt
Potatoes
Cheese
Home made veg soup with potatoes
Porridge with protein powder
Oatibix
Omelette

There are more, but those are the things that kept me going when I didn't feel like eating due to H Pylori infection.

I'm not coeliac, so check ingredients as I am sure you will. But I ate a mostly coeliac diet anyway.

I don't eat gluten and often feel sick. My go to's arec Schar crispbread (sometimes buttered) and Tesco chicken cup-a-soup (check for a may contain but I think they're ok). Strawberry milkshake can help settle things sometimes, and rice cakes with peanut butter.
I can't eat fruit when I feel sick, nothing acid-y, peppermint tea makes it worse strangely and anything ginger usually just gives me heartburn.
Also even if you feel ravenous, try to graze instead of eat a big meal.

Hello Justonedayatatime11,

Unfortunately I've been there in the past and smoothies with unflavoured whey protein + full fat yogurt was what kept me alive.

Regarding not eating gluten and still feeling sick, currently have the same issue because now I'm dating a non-coeliac that eats gluten / and I eat at his house sometimes. This didn't happened before... my assumption lately is that when I got my diagnose my family created a "gluten-free house". I know it sounds extreme, but we treated it as a "cat allergy situation". During those 3 years I was my most healthy! No sickness, my nails looked great, my hair grew stronger and longer, I'd loads energy...

When I was pregnant & had severe morning sickness I lived on plain rice & soy sauce, it was the only thing I could cook that didn't smell.
