I had a banana this morning and that immediately came back up. I haven't had anything else to eat today and to be honest I'm not particularly hungry, but I feel like I should eat something.

Is there something that I should be eating? or do you have any recommations that don't upset a stomach too much?

    Whole wheat crackers and light chicken soup, I think its might be Campbells chicken selects or something like that. Sorry you don't feel well.

    I currently have strep so I havent been able to eat...i did go buy me some pudding, jello, and applesauce. Try some of them...well if its ur stomach I wouldnt get the pudding cause its milk based but u might be able to keep down the jello and applesauce.

    Try sticking to liquids, and I would say to stay away from dairy products.

    Aww, so sorry you don't feel well. I'd start with broth if you're not keeping down a banana. A light (but be sure it's not greesy) soup. Toast is a good option. Applesauce if you have some, preferably the unsweetened kind.

    I always gave my girls ginger ale and maybe some dry toast or saltines. From there maybe you could move onto some broth. Hope you feel better soon.

    I had food poisoning earlier this week, so I know how you feel.

    Your best bet is to stick to the "B.R.A.T." diet: B - Bread, R - Rice, A - Applesauce/juice, T - Tea (or Toast).

    I really like apple sauce, and get the natural, no sugar-added kind. If you like gingerale, try the diet canada dry, and saltines. That's what I 'ate' on monday. And the chicken noodle soup is always a good idea, just make sure you're getting in your liquids :drinker: because of the high sodium content in soups.

    I hope you feel better! :flowerforyou:

    Ginger anything will help with your stomach, along with ginger ale, sprite or 7up... also, chicken broth and some light crackers. I would say if you eat chicken noodle, don't eat anything but the broth.
