what can I eat with tummy bug?

[melsy]

It started thursday night and I was v pooorly friday, didnt eat or drink all day , had very little Sat except banana & cooked apple , ate a little Sunday but was sick. I felt nearly normal yesterday so ate whatever fancied, but have paid for it this morning with the runs, so really dont know what to eat today, not sure I can face more cooked apple or banana. Would rice cooked in veg stock be ok?? Sorta follwing brat diet that way ?

this sounds like the bug my family are going through. i just didn't eat for a day but dd & dh not so patient - dry crackers & water to start, then build up to toast & marmite. we all found we had very bloated stomach's and could only cope with mouthfuls of food. lots of liquid rice & stock sounds ok. we also had loads of wind - see 2p's thread for that!
btw - just my personal experience, i'm not a doc,but it wokred for us

I'd definitely stick to rice and dry crackers until insides are returning to a semblance of normalacy. Don't start on fruit or fatty products until things have sesttled.
If you have bad runs you should drink lots of fluids and take some dioralyte or similar product.

yes can have dioralyte (sp?) but find Lucozade Sport tastes better myself and has v similar effect.
Also recommend dry toast and honey for when you're bored of crackers - no butter/marge though.
