Hi everyone,

So I just had the flu bug really bad and now I just don't want to eat. However, I already have enough issues keeping my sugar up so I know I have to eat. Any suggestions of somethign that would be good?

    Electrolyte drinks are good for renewing everything your body has been using during the flu. Often they are sweetened so provide that sugar as well.

    Gatorade or a similar drink is great for recovering from a stomach flu.

    I had the stomach flu over the winter, and it was awful. I felt like I was going to die! Ginger Ale or 7 Up and toast with honey are my post-flu starter foods, probably because that's what my mom used to give me when I was a kid. I can't do the sport drinks, I don't like the taste of them at all. Hope you're feeling better soon!
