Thanks the support, Nothinbutjoy!



I'd be careful with anything other than water, Natisse, if you're sick your stomach can be extra sensitive to other liquids other than water (including juices) and it's best to try what Nothinbutjoy said and do anything other than water in smaller doses.

You're the best judge, but for me at least water and crackers help the most when I'm sick then I try something a little more solid like chicken soup, nothing with too much seasoning-spicy is a big no-no of course.

Just in stages, don't try to rush things, just make sure it's until you're better.

Home made chicken noodle soup and soda crackers

i saw the title to this thread and was all ready to suggest greek gyros, then i clicked on it and saw you wanted something light.

but i think everyone has gotten it right so far. stick with liquids. and when you're ready to move on to solids, make sure they are colorless at first. (like toast, cracker, and then maybe work your way to oatmeal.)

feel better soon sweety!!

I would go with soup or toast, Nat.

Hope you're feeling better!

Natisse said:

Love me some Vegemite anyday. Drink lots of freshly squeezed juice (go to Ur local Boost Juice bar if U can babes) and vegetable soup will help reduce Ur fever 2. Stay warm....

Natisse said:

Greek gyros is 'Souvlaki' babes. Gyros basically means the lamb is placed & prepared on the spit (rotiserrie). It's a great dish but I wouldn't recommend it to U because Ur still 2 ill. Save it for the weekend when Ur well again (I'll take U to the best in Melbourne)....

Before you go to sleep I'd recommend a kebab or an Indian meal and a big pint of cold water. In the morning a big cooked breakfast helps (bacon, sausage, tomato, mushrooms etc). I'd also recommend plenty of fruit to replenish all that Vitamin C. Fizzy drinks also are good to help settle the stomach.

Natisse said:

a roll with bacon and some butter.

Hey, Natisse - hope you're feeling a lot better now deary. Some good advice on here for sure - make sure you get your Vitamin C (fruits & juices) and if possible, eat berries too (or drink some cranberry juice). Soup is a good option as it's easy on the system.

Rest up lots and get better soon!

Natisse said:

i LOVE greek gyros!! (pronounced yee-roes) but definitely not good on a sick stomach. so when you get better you'll have to find one!! surely there is a greek restaurant somewhere in australia??

man, i'm hungry now . . .

PanthaGirl said:

yes please!! you've got to give natisse a taste of greek gyros!!! i don't know how anyone survives without them . . .

Natisse said:

Sorry to hear that you've been sick Natisse, get well soon! My mom always used to make Jello when I was sick (not sure if they have that in Australia, though ). Jello is another thing that is light on the tummy and not too hard to digest.

My "sick foods":

tea
toast- plain or cinnamon
tomato soup
split pea soup
saltines
brown rice with just some soy sauce on it
fruit sorbet

Natisse said:

I bought some in UK, I have to confess it really taste weird, but not bad (a bit like BBQ sauce); otherwise I'd recommend brown rice, healthy and easy to digest

Cream of Chicken soup w/rice
Potato Soup
Ginger Tea and/or Lipton Tea
Crackers and cheese
Ginger Ale
Jello

kiss85 said:

I said jello too. Your mom must have made it for you also when you were young and under the weather.

PanthaGirl said:

sounds good, hon can't wait!!! I'm feeling a lot better today so Im sure by the weekend I'll be up for it

fantasyislander said:

mmmm so that's what they look like! and yes Melbourne has the second largest Greek community outside Greece I believe...we've got heaps of Greek restaurants everywhere yum!!

psychodelicide said:

yep we just call it Jelly here instead of Jello and I love it!! especially lime or rasberry flavours

I love anything lime, especially Edy's lime juicebars. Raspberry is good too.

Pineapple, freshly cut and ripe.

when i've been really sick the only things i can keep down are toast or saltines and either flat 7Up or ginger ale. hope you are feeling better
