    OP, you've already had a lot of good advice, I just want to send my best wishes that you're much improved by tomorrow! If it helps, I remember feeling much better by the third day after my food poisoning.

    Are you sure (as you can be) that it's food poisoning and not stomach flu? If it is/was food poisoning, you can eat whatever you want when you are well again; if you have digestion issues, you have to be more careful.

    Please tell me I'm not a bad, heartless person for thinking, "Well, whatever you do manage add to your safe list will already have a ton of calories banked for it."

    BRAT (Bread, Rice, Apple sauce, Toast - or carbs-based) diet as a general rule until you feel better. Not necessarily bland, but avoid the irritants, e.g. spicy and acidic food, fat, alcohol, raw vegetables).
    Feel better and save the yummy foods for later!

    OP, I don't have any advice, but you have my sympathies. Food poisoning is no fun, especially around a major holiday.

    Have you told the hosts about your illness? If you're worried about the mashed potatoes, maybe they can make a smaller bland batch for you.

    Food poisoning :s

    What a terrible time for food poisoning to strike! I had a horrible bout a couple of weeks ago, and pretty much subsisted on just gelatin and crackers for nearly three days.

    Fruit is supposed to be a good transition food as you start adding foods after the BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) diet. If there is applesauce or baked apples, you might try that. Or even the filling from a fruit pie (apple, cherry, berry). You might even try the cranberry sauce, but that might be too acidic.

    Best of luck. Hope you feel better soon.

    Food poisoning was Monday. Today is Thursday. I'm thinking you could eat anything by now and be ok. As for me....I will be eating it ALL!!! Good luck. I think you'll be fine.

    I wouldn't even touch the mashed potatoes because there's always butter and milk/cream in them, and that's really not good.

    Sweet potatoes might be fine though, even if there's sugar added. And yeah... turkey, rolls.

    That being said, it's been 4 days so you would probably be fine as long as you don't go nuts.

    I know there are a lot of people who insist on trying to record their Thanksgiving meal for varying reasons. I personally feel that taking a day off from the logging, measuring etc.... in favor of being thankful that we even have the "problem" of daily abundance that we must discipline ourselves in abstaining from is perfectly fine. One day of eating and enjoying it will nor wreck the overall effort.
    I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving no matter how you do it!

    So you didn't read the OP?

    YES I did but I was addressing the idea that we "must" log and account for it.
