eating low carb after stomach virus

So I'm recovering from a stomach virus and I'm finding it very hard not to eat carbs! All the things I would normally eat after feeling sick -crackers, toast, pasta!!! All carbs is the only thing that sounds good to me. So far I've managed to stay away from them. I did have some chicken noodle soup with only a couple noodles. I don't want this stomach bug to to be an excuse to eat carbs. Anyone else had this experience or have any advice?

I kinda looked online and what I am reading is drinking a lot of broth, and maybe eating some low carb bread or wasa crackers with butter on them. I am sorry to hear you were sick! I hope you're feeling better.0

I say eat what makes you feel better. But just for a day or two and eat in moderation. Have some toast, have some soup, have some crackers.
Don't use it as an excuse to go to Olive Garden or eat cake.0 -
Dr's often recommend the BRAT diet. Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast. Not LC friendly at all.
Is that really easier on your stomach than protein or fat? I don't really know.
Maybe just eating small portions would help0 -
i'm sick too
i hope you feel better soon.
i have the flu though, not a stomachy thing, but i can't swallow with a swollen throat..
so i said eff you to keto and ate whatever i could swallow.
sugar free popsicles, canned soup, yogurt (i know, dairy bad for mucus, oh well)
i can't even enjoy the carbs i'm eating because i can't taste anything!
on the plus side NOT eating will help you shed a few pounds (yay fasting!), so it's not a terrible thing, just be sure to stay hydrated.
i did find unsweetened applesauce that is like 10 carbs per half cup. (musselmans)
its really tasty too.0
