    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.

    I think you might be getting your threads confused. The OP said nothing about logging....

    No. I am not mixed up at all. I was just speaking on the holiday and being thankful no matter HOW one has their meal. You don't have to like it or accept it.

    so you made up your own post, question, and answer? So i can go on a vegan thread and talk about meat and logging because
    i feel like it? just stop defending yourself... you didnt read the post and its cool whatever.

    Actually no I didn't. But you can keep running your mouth. It won't keep me up at night.

    Why did you purposely chose a post about food poisoning to share your kind words of wisdom on thankfulness for everyone?

    Just curious.

    Not gonna lie, I'm really amused my thread took this turn. I'm also really amused by the people who obviously didn't read the thread and didn't catch on to the sarcasm with my tween-esque exclamation points in the title.

    No GI problems today! I still overdid it and don't feel awesome right now, but that was due to quantity rather than type of food. I've been eating so little that my body was like WTF IS ALL THIS YOU'RE SHOVING INTO ME. But let's be honest, that probably would have happened anyway, because pie ;) I'll happily start hiking all this off tomorrow!

    Thanks again guys :)

    Yay! Thanks for the update :)
