what to eat?

[mccfluff]

got a stomach bug & feel rubbish but i'm hungry, any ideas on what's safe to eat - won;t have me running for the loo, within minutes

i would of normally gone for toast or crackers but i have none, loads of fruit and veg but i don't feel that would be a good idea

[ummmm]

Scrambled eggs?

[mrs_overall]

Sorry to hear you are unwell - been eating your own cooking? lol

How about soup?

[mccfluff]

thought of that ummm but the look of them makes me want to heave, i'm contemplating mash pots

lol mrs o, no soup in and can;t be arsed to make any :-)

[mrs_overall]

Blimey, if you are going to boil spuds for mash, chuck some veggies in and then blend it.
Hey presto - a nutritious soup!

Low fibre is best, so yes to crackers and toast and no to fruit and veg. Do you have a potato? You could microwave it or mash it and grate cheese on top. White pasta is fine but not a heay rich sauce.
I was in hospital recently and suffered similar symtoms. Sounds crazy but crisps and flat lemonade are really good. Chew the crisps well and they will repalce the salts lost and trhe lemonade replaces the sugars etc
Hope you feel better soon. Drink plenty of clear fluids too.

[ummmm]

Hmmmm cheesy mash...put some tomatoes on top and quickly grill..

[mccfluff]

lol mrs o its left over from dinner the other night.
thanks vibes i'll certainly consider that.
cheers maidup, the slight problem i have is no bread or crackers :-(
i have text fatboy and asked him to go get me bread and soup

Found this on NHS site
Eat as soon as you can
The old advice was to not eat anything for a day or two, but now it is recommended that you eat foods high in carbohydrates (bread, pasta, rice or potatoes) and other foods as soon as you feel like it. Salty foods such as soup can help replace salt lost from your system.

If you feel you cannot eat, it shouldn't do you any harm, but make sure you continue drinking fluids and eat as soon as you are able

awwww fatboy's bringing me some food over later. in the meantime i have found some mac n cheese in the freezer, that will have to do :-)

thanks all ('cept vibes you can go shove it up your bum)

Porridge, put a lining back on the stomach, may be a old wives tale but it works.

Toast and marmite works for me.
