Help Please!
I would like to know what to eat after the flu. I have of course lost 2 pounds at least, maybe more. Yesterday I had a bowl of homemade vegetable beef soup, less than 1 cup, and today alls I had was a banana. Nothing sounds good, but am hoping to feel better tomorrow and dont know where to start when I do feel like eating! I was losing 1 pound a week & dont want to mess that up!

Thx for any help

    I usually eat things like oatmeal, soup, and crackers until my stomach can handle more food.

    When I have stomach issues, I do the BRAT diet

    Banana
    Rice (white)
    applesauce
    Toast

    make sure while on the BRAT diet you don't put salt or butter/margarine on things, and unsweetened apple sauce if you can handle it lol

    I add yogurt (helps with digestion) and unsweetened hot tea (another way to get your fluids) - turns it into the BRATTY diet :)

    Get some good homemade chicken soup/bone broth - homemade broth is mineral rich and full of all kinds of good things.
