Advice needed on getting DS back to normal after tummy bug.

[Megatron]

DS is 8, he has had a horrible D & V bug which lasted for 5 days and he is completely washed out. There's not much meat on his bones as it is and he has lost about half a stone and looks awful. Any suggestions on how to help him get his strength back and put a bit of weight on him? He's a very picky eater at the best of times but I'm actually getting worried about how thin he is. I'm thinking a little and often may be better to get him started as he hasn't eaten anything solid since Monday night?

Little and often definately! I heard ready salted crisps are good to have to help replace some salts. Give your ds his fave meals so he does it

I've got some ready salted crisps which he loves but he doesn't seem keen to eat anything at all. I wondered if I should get him some kind of kids tonic too?

Hi my dd is only 5 and didn't eat for a week last month when ill . I got a box of glucose powder from chemist and added it to milk or water as that's all she drinks , seemed to give her a bit of energy and all she would eat to start with was Pringles and sugar puffs with no milk on. She is now eating fine again actually more than usual thank goodness. Hope your ds is back to his old self soon
