What do you eat when you’re poorly?

[Maximoose]

I’ve caught a horrendous stomach bug off my baby and haven’t eaten since yesterday morning. I can’t face any food at all and when I have tried I’ve just bought it back up. I’m breastfeeding though so know I need some calories.

Any miracle meals you swear by? I don’t have any food restrictions, although dairy is seeming really unappealing right now!

Cold, dry toast (Altho a scrape of marg if you think you’d be ok) and/or clear soup (I usually have a tub of bouillon powder in the cupboard)

but the main thing is hydration

Clear chicken broth
salty crackers
a piece of toast with honey
lots of strong ginger tea

I hope you feel better soon!

Really strong salt and vinegar crisps, eg McCoy’s or Discos.

Sherbet Lemons (although I’m not sure you can really call them food!)

Pint of fullfat milk

Anything I can stomach.

If can eat it, I do. If I can’t, I don’t

Toast always toast.

Toast and the packets of knorr chicken noodle soup 😍😍

Toast
Ginger biscuits
Sucky sweets
Fruit ice lollies

Boiled apple 😁 trust me! It's good!!!! You can add a touch of cinnamon, even honey but no need

I like cut in small pieces, peeled and to boil in low water

Ready salted crisps

Scrambled egg on toast and flat lemonade!

Porridge made up with water, with some sweetener. It's what I always got as a kid so it's comforting because of that, plus it's manageable on a dodgy tummy, looks/feels/tastes much the same on the way up as the way down, it's got slow-release energy meaning if you can't face eating more than once or twice a day you'll not get energy crashes, doesn't take too much effort to eat, tastes okay even if you're all bunged up, gives your intestines something to work with…

Suck a boiled sweet- pear drops for me

Bouillon and water biscuits because I usually can't stand long enough to cook and these are very quick. Maybe a banana or microwave basmati rice or some yogurt. If someone can cook for you mashed potatoes or boiled potatoes with salt help, too.

Jewish chicken soup. It is a cure for anything.

Ginger biscuits
Flat lemonade
Popcorn
Banana
Toast
Chicken soup
Mash
Tinned fruit
Yoghurts

Toast
Broth type soup
Porridge made with water.

Keep sipping small amounts of water frequently.
I hope you start to feel better soon.

Just getting over food poisoning myself- toast, ready salted crisps, breadsticks and packet noodles are what I’ve managed.

Pint of fullfat milk

Omg I couldn't think of anything worse when you're being sick or recovering 🤮🤢

Mash potatoes ☺️

Toast with butter and Bovril

Plain crackers
Cornflakes with skimmed milk (the only time I eat cornflakes)
Breadsticks, dry toast - basically incredibly bland, dry carbs.

As a child my mum would give me mashed potatoes with a good bit of butter and peas mixed in with it. Easy to get down at least for me. Nowadays I have a bowl of tomato soup.

Knorr packets of chicken noodle soup, plain crisps and custard when i start to feel better.

Thanks everyone, I managed some salty crackers. My husband is making toad 🐸 n the hole with mash for dinner so am going to attempt some of that
