    Anything that sounds appealing and stays down...and, er, in. :tongue:

    Bland foods are usually recommended for situations like what you've described - dry toast, crackers, plain white rice, broth, lots of water.

    Hope you feel better!

    Personally when I don't feel good like that I want sweets. Kool-aid, chocolate, any dessert food. Cinnamon/sugar toast, chicken broth, pudding, rice. I usually just eat anything that doesn't make me want to hurl just by thinking about it.

    Ginger ale can help as well. Ginger is naturally soothing for delicate stomachs.

    this, scrambled eggs if they don't make you nauseous, and ginger ale like above poster said, chicken noodle soup (with crackers), usually stay away from milk or ice cream. Maybe some jello

    hope you feel better!!

    I'm a big fan of white bread and butter when I'm sick. Sounds strange but I've convinced myself the bread sucks up the sickness LOL. And, LOTS of water.

    Gatorade...something with electrolytes in it tend to be really good at treating any dehyration...also, toast has always been my go to...even a whole wheat bagel. Hope you feel better soon!!!!

    I am in the same boat and I am drinking some gatorade. It helps and you don't want to get dehydrated. Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

    my Doctor always says if you can't see through it you don't get to have it, for 2 days, it usually helps but then I end up starving so then I have an egg after the 2 days
