Steve - hope your wife is up and running about. Would you care to post what ideas you used/ found most helpful? - Mike
I'm 4 days into some kind of GI viral thing and have been drinking massive quantities of Gatorade to combat the dehydration. managed a softboiled egg this morning, then reviewed your thread for additional ideas.
Made some pork fried rice last night. I could not eat much but it was good.I did some fried rice and stirred fried veggies. Soy sauce was good. I've got to take out the hounds. Steven is totally [censored]. I slammed his jag off the side of Berry Road, I was going incredibly fast. I had to throw up. I slammed the thing into a tree. [censored], when does this end I totaled a jaguar... OMG? Anyway, the food was good. I did a bok choy
thing.

Michael,
I'm guessing you're ok ?? --- OMG that sounds awful. Jags can be replaced though I suppose ( having never, ever had one!)
Did you make the bok choy thing after this ? I can't imagine anything tasting good - but could you share exactly what one does with bok choy? I'm never sure.............

I followed suggestions about rice and chicken stock, and that went down just fine. The rice gives carbohydrates for energy to fight back against the invaders, and the stock provides fluids and proteins. For more fluids and some sugars, she drank apple juice. She stuck with this regime for a few days after just to make sure that it was all done with, and is much better.

Well, I hope I've helped, and get well soon.

Gawd, Gatorade and a soft boiled egg sound wonderful. I can't keep breakfast down. I get up at 5:30am, walk the hounds, feed them, Hoot and Margaret and clean the cat boxes. Then I feed the feral cats. I'm exhausted when it's over. Eating anything is disgusting and I throw it back up anyway. I may buy some Gatorade. Sounds like something I could use. I drink a ton of ice water.
You should try some Kefir. It is fermented milk and tastes like a yogurt drink with effervescence. It doesn't smell great, but the taste is not bad. It also comes in natural fruit flavours. It has yeast and bacteria that will restore your intestinal flora. It is lactose free because the fermentation process eats up all the lactose. I gave some to my SIL when she was suffering from an attack of colitis and she found it quite helpful.
I always keep Gatorade on hand, (in powdered form). And I always have it in my suitcase when I travel, in a plastic baggie. Stomach flu leaches out the salt, sugar and potassium in your body, making you feel weak. Drinking Gatorade right away makes you feel better quickly. You need more that just water. Good luck. Nancree
