My son and myself are sick. I think it's the flu. He can't seem to keep hardly anything down. I've given chicken noodle soup.... and then just broth. Toast was on the menu today too.

Do you have any suggestions on food for the flu?? Something that will stay down, hopefully make him feel better and not upset his stomach??

I always thought if nothing stays down you do the BRAT diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast).

If that's all too boring, maybe try variations on the BRAT diet. something like chicken and rice soup or apple butter on toast...

hope you feel better soon!

Well, drink some warm water with some honey, it feels great to drink. Add some lemon juice for more flavour

I've been so sick - chicken soup helped, dry toast (although I just couldn't finish it), tea with lemon, juices, hot bouillon - they basically stayed down.

Thank you for the posts. I'm going to try some of these. The boy is better, mommy's still sick...and now daddy has it too. :( Let's just hope the baby stays clear of it.

Do you have any additions for the help of diarrhea???

I think I'll go make some honey water...........
