what do you eat when you ahve the flu?

Question

i have the flu and i've been throwing up a lot.
i'm afraid to eat anything but i'm hungry.

what are some foods i'd be able to eat without throwing them up?

Answer 1

Crackers, applesauce, dry toast, chicken noodle soup that isn't too fatty, flat ginger-ale, flat coke, rice, jello. No dairy products until you can hold down food. Nothing greasy or fatty. Nothing acidy like citrus fruit or citrus juices or tomato soup.

Answer 2

Chicken soup or broth. Avoid anything heavy & dairy products. Drink gatorade to replace electrolytes. Hope this helps U.

Answer 3

If you are hungry its probably a good sign you are recovering. :-)
My mom used to always start us on 7-up or ginger ale...they give you needed sugar, and are light on the stomach, but not too bad to throw up if you do.

She'd also give us a little toast and butter, or mashed potatoes. But start very small. Don't eat too much at once.

Answer 4

For a few days until you feel better, have a totally liquid diet. Eat such things as beef broth, chicken broth, mild fruit juices such as apple or grape juice.

Answer 5

go with the brat diet

B ananas
R ice
A pplesauce
T oest

it sounds way gross and probably is but it is suppose to settle your tummy or whatever....just dont eat them all at the same time....O YEA and drink water or orange juice....NO MILK!! this should not make you throw up but if you do at least it will not sting from the tummy acid....hope you get better :)

Answer 6

Clear liquids to start, in very small amounts. Then as you feel better, continue to small amounts of bland food - chicken, pudding, applesauce, pretzels, dry toast..

I agree with lasperanz!

Chicken with Stars soup is also good for you, and saltine crackers.

I find that soups are pretty much the only things that dont come back up for me

Answer 9

A lot of chicken soup and drink lots of juice. Get well soon *-*

Answer 10
