What's Your Go To Food After A Stomach Bug?

pup2py@reddit

After about an hour or so of searching what I should or shouldn’t eat with a stomach bug I have realised I crave all the things I shouldn’t with a stomach bug 😭

[-]

Oh my God I crave tomato soup SO bad when I get over the stomach flu. I'm currently on day 4 and with this Zofran it's helping me to have more of an appetite. All I want is tomato soup but I'm scared to have it. How long into your illness do you finally eat some? I feel like if I have it now I'll upset my tum lol.

I actually have that in the cupboard and am heating it up now after reading this!

I was taught BRAT - bananas, rice (plain, white, fresh), apple juice, toast (plain). All very bland and easily digested.

Get well soon.

The A in BRAT diet is for Applesauce, rather than juice.

Rice pasta bread but little by little and regularly

Plain yoghurt and soft fruit. Slips down easily, give you the nutrients you need and helps repopulate your gut bacteria.

Uncooked chicken and reheated rice.

rustynoodle3891@reddit

You lunatic, chicken should be medium rare..

[-]

The-Rog@reddit

Should be blue, ideally.

Lamb phall with egg fried rice.

[-]

ClevelandWomble@reddit

A couple of slices of toast. If they stay down, I'm mended.

Doner kebab swimming in chilli sauce 🥵🥵.

MissingScore777@reddit

Plain/ready salted crisps have always sorted me out, as unhealthy a recovery food as it is.

Growing up my Mam always swore by plain toast but had to give up with that in my case as it always made me worse.

[-]

Ok-Noise2538@reddit

Cream crackers, ritz crackers, plain rice and toast. Maybe a few biscuits if there’s any in the house, obviously not all at the same time. If I can manage a sandwich, that’s usually a good sign that I’m getting better.

Currently experiencing the worst flu and stomach flu of my life. Not out of the woods yet but it’s nice to have a plan for what to eat when I can finally keep it down!

Jaffa Cakes

Salty, crunchy food, ideally bacon sandwich or a sausage roll and salty crisps. Lived on them when I had morning sickness

[-]

Himantolophus1@reddit

Melon works really well for me. It's got a lot of water so helps with rehydration but doesn't make me want to retch like just drinking can when I've been throwing up a lot. It's also pretty bland so doesn't risk reactivating nausea.

[-]

wildgoldchai@reddit

Hot weetabix with plenty of of honey

[-]

360Saturn@reddit

Brown toast with honey. Simple enough and gives energy. Add banana when you feel you could keep it down.

[-]

Fractalien@reddit

Bananas

[-]

Kat8844@reddit

Dry toast or ryevita and flat coke.

[-]

mothchoir@reddit

Ice lollies, plain crisps, mashed potato with minimal butter.

[-]

Toast

[-]

Pretend-Proposal-682@reddit

The cheesy pasta in the red box with original lucozade.

Or egg in a cup. Always something my mum gave me and carried it into adult hood. A couple of boiled eggs mashed in a cup with some butter salt n pepper. Toast on the side. A cup of tea to go with it. I prefer strong stewed tea so just leave the teabag in the cup.

[-]

Toast. If I’m feeling brave I may put a very thin layer of butter on it. If I keep that down, I may move to something like an isotonic drink like flat lucosade sport to replace lost sugars and electrolytes. Normally if I am actually recovering that will make me feel a little more human. After that maybe some ginger biscuits and peppermint tea (not together) and see how you go from there

[-]

_Red_Knight_@reddit

Lucozade Sport, fruit, and yoghurt while I still feel sick. When I'm starting to feel better, I have a McDonalds to kick-start my appetite.

[-]

Smeeble09@reddit

Buttered towst and fresh orange juice or orange Locozade.

[-]

Vickyinredditland@reddit

Toast, veggie soup, jacket potato with butter.

[-]

Mince pies.

[-]

chinamanDT@reddit

Heinz veg soup and 4 slices of buttered bread - I’m not even veggie but the veg soup is so scrumptious.

[-]

rustynoodle3891@reddit

Most suggest something plain, but i tend to go for something like a burger or some spicy chicken. That said I often don't finish it, but I think you have to go for what you fancy

[-]

Really cheap bags of nachos, the 50p ones.

Flat_Development6659@reddit

I had food poisoning last week and have been drinking mass gainer shakes (1500 calories each) daily since my appetite has started to return. Easy calories while I'm not back to 100% appetite.

While I was actually sick my diet sounded similar to yours, Lucozade and small portions of junk.

[-]

RidingDigital@reddit (OP)

the thought of that much rich food right now would put me over the edge. Tomorrow maybe!
