No solid food for two days, what should I eat first?

[JoyG]

I have been soooo sick with a stomach virus for the past 2 1/2 days. Last night I started feeling better and feeling hungry so I ate a hamburger...I was so hungry I couldn't help it...well the cycle started all over again with the vomiting and....

Anyway, I haven't been sick since around 3am this morning and right now it's dinner time and I'm ravenous. I had chicken broth at lunch and i've been drinking ginger ale...what can I eat to satisfy this hunger and not get sick again?

Thanks

ARGGGGGGGGG! No! No! No!!! You need to go on the B. R. A. T. diet.

BRAT Diet

It really does work. No fats of any type until you can tolerate what's on the BRAT diet and than includes milk, cheese, butter and so on.

Good luck. I had that virus a couple of months ago. Terrible thing! Hope you feel better soon.

I second the BRAT diet. It is wonderful. When my Grandmother was so sick with breast cancer, she couldn't keep anything down except for variations of this diet.
White rice and applesauce will work wonders. Slice up some banana and mix it into the rice. I know it sounds so yummy, but you will be surprised as how well it works. Dice up some dry toast and mix that in as well. You will feel great by tomorrow!

Plain oatmeal that has been well cooked would be ok too. Once you do ok with those things (bannanas, rice, applesauce, toast) you can move on to some other stuff - but no "junk" for a few days (no hotdogs, hamburgers, cheetos, potatochips, ...you know)
