The Kaeya Simp 13,999 May 5, 2018 Share May 5, 2018 I usually eat the same, all I do is avoid dairy when I'm ill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longhaul 10,103 May 5, 2018 Share May 5, 2018 It depends on what I think I can handle. Most of the time, I end up having soup, sometimes I'll have regular meals if my stomach can handle it, I just try to avoid spicy foods until I'm better. And ginger ale to drink, really helps settle an upset stomach. Signature wanted -- inquire within Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpWit 3,087 May 5, 2018 Share May 5, 2018 Bread and water. If I'm sick it's less about keeping up strength and more about having something to throw up that doesn't hurt. For me, nothing is worth than throwing up bacon because it claws at your throat, and I'd rather have something coming out than nothing at all. Dry heaving is excruciating.

cuteycindyhoney 13,345 May 5, 2018 Share May 5, 2018 (edited) I'm sick right now. Yesterday I had a tooth extracted. It was cracked, and my dentist said it couldn't be saved. (Bottom, all the way in the back, left side) The extraction went fine. What I didn't know was that over the course of the day, lots of blood was running down the back of my throat. (I thought I just had the sniffles) Five o'clock this morning, I was VIOLENTLY ill. It's frightening to see red at that moment, let me tell you! My husband wanted to take me to the emergency room, but I refused. We figured out that the site wasn't bleeding any more, and it was just old blood I was getting rid of. NASTY! I was finally able to get back to sleep around six, and slept until 2PM. I ate a slice of bread, and can't even face the thought of eating anything else right now. My husband promised to make me some soup later. Oddly, I have no pain. I just don't ever want to eat again! Edited May 5, 2018 by cuteycindyhoney Thank you Sparklefan1234!!!

Vocal Analyst 665 May 5, 2018 Share May 5, 2018 I try to stay off spicy, rich or fatty foods when I'm ill as it tends to upset my throat and stomach. Then again, it's what I eat most of the time, so it's problematic when I want to eat something and annoy myself having to eat something I may not be a fan of.

IronM17 6,657 May 5, 2018 Share May 5, 2018 It depends how I feel. When I have problems with my stomach, than I eat usually nothing or something really dry one. When I have heavy sore throat, than I try to eat something soft or I drink a lot of tea and soup. But mostly when I have a cold, I eat the normal food I would also eat on this day when I am not sick (even when I can't tast it because of the disease).

Kyoshi Frost Wolf 42,208 May 5, 2018 Share May 5, 2018 Either soup or cereal and if my stomach is all bleh, then I will drink either water or Sprite, that helps a lot.

Twilight Luna 31,516 May 5, 2018 Share May 5, 2018 I always drink plenty of fluids like water or gatorade. If my stomach is upset, then ginger ale. Keep a stash of saltine crackers and gold fish crackers on hand as well. They're easy to digest when your stomach is acting up. When I have a cold, I have to force myself to remember not to eat any dairy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like holding things in my mouth like that. I thought the bleeding was done when I finally took it out. I feel okay now. I hope I'm never sick like that again! The dentist told me to eat only "mushy" things for a few days. He said mashed potatoes, oatmeal, noodles, things like that. I just had some soup, and that went down well. I'll try some scrambled eggs in the morning. Thank you Sparklefan1234!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thuja 3,669 May 6, 2018 Share May 6, 2018 I haven't been really sick in years, when I get a little bit of a cold I notice that I'm more willing to try new recipes. It makes me feel better trying something new, especially if I make it myself(compared to going out for takeout) but sometimes I like going out to get some poutine. Last time I was really sick was when I had to get my gallbladder removed, at that time, I couldn't really eat anything because it would trigger a lot of pain. So I would normally eat a lot of quinoa because everything else made me sick. To be honest, I'll be happy to never see a plate with quinoa on it served to me ever again...

I'll try some scrambled eggs in the morning. I know, right. I nearly gagged on what I assumed is my own saliva at times. And I had to swap for a fresh gauze about every 30 minutes. Still, I got through it and so will you.
