Ill today - what would you eat?

[princesspadam]

I've felt sick all day
And had really bad diarrhoea
Just woken up from a 2 hr nap
All I've eaten today is some scrambled egg on dry granary toast

What can I eat now that's not going to make me feel worse??

Soup

I probably wouldn't eat anything TBH. Definitely not anything dairy.

Banana?

Soup I wouldn't mind
Or some tinned spaghetti

Don't think there's any bananas here

Why bother unless you feel in the mood for eating. Drinking liquids is all you need until you feel a bit better. 7up or sugary lemonade and a pinch of salt is great for this type of illness.

I think that's what got me into this mess 🤦🏼‍♀️

But I do feel like I need to eat

You wont starve to death and staying away from grub will help. If you feel hungry then the BRAT diet banana rice applesauce and toast is recommended.

Whatever you fancy or nothing if you don’t want anything.

Have a slice of toast or two or some biscuits (something plain like digestives) if you feel hungry. After D&V the B.R.A.T diet is recommended?

BRAT is not recommended. Eat wha

Ffs. Eat what you fancy. You don't have to eat. I'm on day four of some hideous cold / flu. I don't want to eat anything.

I might just have some spaghetti & dry toast then and see how it goes

You can eat what you fancy and no need to follow any specific plan or diet. That's the advice these days

Don't eat anything today, just fluids. Look forward to plain toast tomorrow morning.
If you've got any probiotic capsules, take the recommended dose.
Get well soon.

Try the BRAT diet for a few days until your guts settle down

banana
rice
apple
toast

no fats, no protein, minimal sugar

and lots of water

BRAT would be OK for a day or two. Loads of fluids though. Soup. You should regain your appetite pretty soon.

Eat whatever you fancy or nothing if you don’t fancy anything!
You’ve already eaten toast and scrambled eggs, as long as you’re taking in fluids little and often you don’t need any food if you don’t want it.

I'm pretty good with fluid anyway
Normally 3 ltrs a day
But I feel like I need to replace a lot of fluid today 😩
Might have some of those rehydration things in the medicine cupboard

If I am ill, I eat rich tea biscuits, ginger biscuits if nauseous, and peppermint tea. Sorry you are feeling rough OP, hopefully you will feel better soon.

I'm feeling really poorly too, had to quit half way through the big food shop today 😫

I've never had an illness like this. I've got a band cold flu thing but I am so HUNGRY. I normally lose my appetite when ill but I've made 2 ciabatta rolls and am eating some chocolate to cheer myself up.

Thank you so much

I could definitely do some rich tea biscuits I might ask DP to pick some up on his way home
That would be perfect with a black tea

Fingers crossed you recover soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻 nightmare so close to Christmas

You too! It really is, have so much to do, just don't have time to feel this!

It's ok to not eat as long as you drink, so every time you be sick or go to the toilet with diarrhoea, have a drink of water after it, and that will keep you getting fluids.

If you want to eat something, you could try eating toast.
