I know it's a gross topic to bring up in a food group, but I've been
off sick for a few weeks, and the last few days, I literally haven't
kept anything down. I've tried oatmeal, rice, cream of wheat, even
grits, but no luck. The wife made a huge pot of ham and beans with
cornbread last weekend and I was able to enjoy that before things fell
apart. Good stuff. Jill - get creative here <G>. I'm at least able
to get water down, so that's a blessing. Oh, boy.

Try plain soda crackers. The soda will help settle your stomach and
they won't be heavy on your digestive tract. Be sure to drink plenty
of water to stay hydrated.

Yeah, thank you. I HAVE been able to keep some of those down - I
guess maybe I just need to wait it out and see what happens. I'm just
too impatient.

I once went through a period where I couldn't keep food down that lasted a
couple of weeks. Even the sight of food made hot water come up in my mouth.
The thing that finally worked was some simple homemade chicken noodle soup
and crackers. Not only could I eat it, but I ate three bowls of it, and
never had a recurrance again.

Now THAT sounds pretty darn good Wayne. I tried a can of some noxious
chicken soup wanna-be and it didn't set well at all. I think I'll hit
up the little lady and see what she can stir together . . . . .

Plain rice. Plain pasta (I know, ick). Dry toast. Bananas for potassium
and Vitamin A. Chicken or beef broth; tea. Mild fruit juice (not acidic
orange juice, maybe tomato).
Sorry it's not a bountiful blessing of great tasting food but it's what I
eat when my IBS flares up and nothing wants to stay where it belongs.

My son is afflicted with that very same thing, Jill. I try to tell
him that if he would just lay off the fast food and come home for a
meal once in a while, things would probably improve just a little.
But - oh, well, I might as well be yelling at the trees. And you need
to seriously get to your doctor, Jill - ask him a few questions,
because last January, some drug company came out with a seriously
effective new medicine - you need to get to your doc and ask him
about it. Please don't sit around and suffer - go see your doc.
Please.

Can you not keep fruit down? About the most easily digestible foods are
certain fruits.
Soups I tend to turn to myself, as low fat as possible, and preferably low
in protein too - proteins and fats, especially together, trigger the
production of acidic digestive juices which can be hard on an already
troubled system.

Take some 2 minute eggs and deshell them. Throw them in a bowl and
mix it all up. This stuff will stick to your insides.
And as much as I don't suport drug use you might want to try an
/alternative/ theropy to help food stay down.

Also, it *helps* if you can get something easy to cope with into your system
and keep it down - vastly speeds recovery over leaving the stomach
completely empty, IMExp.

Well, plain pasta can be a good treat if you take the time to
dress it with butter and grated Parmigiano. A pinch of ground
black pepper and you're going to eat a fake-but-good "cacio e
pepe" pasta (cheese and pepper). Some prefer Pecorino instead of
Parmigiano, but it has to be a well seasoned Pecorino, at least
three or four months old to be grated easily.

AlleyGator,
How does yogurt sound? Could help replenish some missing stomach
bacteria, acidophollis (sp?). How about jell-o?
When I was in the hospital with acute pancreatitis and couldn't eat, they
IV'd me sodium chloride all day and once a day potassium chloride for a
week to keep me from dehydrating. Finally they let me drink water and
then jell-o, and other light foods.
If you can down some gatorade for the potassium/electrolytes that's good
drink. Maybe some salt pills to help you retain water. Ask your Doc,
though.
Feel better soon,
Andy

Actually, Shaun, proteins of any kind whether meat, chicken or even
something as simple as peanut butter tend to make me pretty darn sick.
I try to avoid them at all cost, although I know my diet is probably
sersously deficient because of this.

I think that oatmeal and cornmeal would be near the top of the list of
things to avoid. How about some tapioca. That is usually pretty easy on
the system. Kefir is almost a miracle food, the lactose has already been
eaten/ferment out of it and it is supposed to be an ideal food to refresh
your intestines bacterial flora. Alpen bitters is goof for gastric
problems. I was once desperate enough to tray my whacko health food freak
sister in laws home remedy of apple cider vinegar. I have to admit that it
gave instant relief.

Toast with a dash of honey.
Pureed fruit - that could be any jar of baby food.
Tea with lemon and a bit of sugar.
Mashed bananas. (A doctor told me that he suggests bananas because they
taste the same going and coming)
Broth with very minimal solids.
Kefir.
Sugar water or a beverage with electrolytes..
All of it in small quantity. Better to take small bits several times a
day than a lot at once.

I was gonna suggest the home made chicken soup, but I see someone beat
me to it. ;)
I also agree with the ginger ale thing.
Went "home" to Zim for a visit once, and picked up the mother of all
stomach bugs.... Clear soup was all I could keep down. But they also
used to make a mixture of boiled water, with sugar and salt in it that
used to stop the dehydration (sp). I think it was 1 glass of cooled,
boiled water with 2 teaspoons sugar and one teaspoon salt in it. (I
stand to be very much corrected here on the amounts of sugar and salt,
it was many years ago). It tasted awful, but it helped for the nausea
too.
Hope you feel better soon.
Cheers

Geez, that's ruff. Coca-cola (which is kinda scary considering that
battery crud thing), but Coke will usually stay down and it will give you
sugar for fuel. The carbonation is supposed to be good for settling the
tummy. It was originally created by a pharmacist for stomach "miseries".
You've tried all the soft stuff I would have thought might be helpful.
Have you tried broth? Chicken noodle soup - the Campbell's kind, not the
rich, wonderful homemade kind - is easy on the tummy.
Next, I would suggest a doctor (chew him up good before you swallow!)
(sorry. Just a little sick room humor :) )
Get well soon.

Coke *syrup* was created as a medicine. The soft drink part came later.
The carbonation makes you burp (and that, um, other thing).

First, if its been days, see the doc. Dehydration is very serious.
Second, ginger ale and Gatorade is the usual recommendation for starters. I
find plain yogurt works pretty well for me.

I am so sorry to hear this. Health problems are the worst problems because
sometimes there is little we can do. Usually, we just have no control over
the situation and few options. I hope there is something that they can do
to help you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Have you tried any of the anti-nausea drugs? When I was undergoing
radiation, they gave me a script for Prochlorperazine (10 mg). It is for
nausea and or vomiting. I could be so totally nauseous, take one of these
little, tweety-bird yellow pills, and in minutes be able to eat almost
anything.
I'm sure there are a number of drugs on the market now like this one. It
was a real helper on those bad days.

Mix up some Jell-O, but instead of chilling it, drink it slowly. Usually
stays down for me. If not, at least your vomit will taste a little better
coming up.

Will do. He's actually the one who told me what to eat. It's not thrilling
to eat plain rice and pasta and dry toast, let me tell you. Oh, eggs are
okay too, just no butter or dairy stuff. In those instances I nuke a
couple, stirring frequently, until they are soft and fluffy.

If you can hold down water change quickly to Gatorade.
You'll need the electrolytes & sugar.
You can also heat it add some Knox and chill - Gatorade -jell-o.

These are exactly what I was told to eat/drink when I had food poisoning
(KFC) earlier this year. During a previous attack of food poisoning (crab
legs), the doctor told me to drink regular Coca-Cola. It has the same
ingredient as Emetrol, an OTC anti-nausea syrup.
Feel better, kiddo!

My mom, the OLD SCHOOL nurse, recommends letting the Coke go flat in the
refrigerator for a day or so. The carbonation can irritate an already sore
stomach. But she recommends it for the same reason you do, Carol.
And there's always Jell-O!

I think the BRATT diet is for the other end. Our son (9 m.o.) had a
terrible time with diarrhea. BRATT helped a little but the real miracle was
soy formula. We're wondering now if the kid is simply lactose intolerant.

I certainly do relate. When I was diagnosed with cancer in 2000, I had no
idea what lay ahead. As wonderful as the support of family and friends -
and even many strangers - is, it is a road you walk alone. You find out
what you're made of and what your faith really is. Faith is easy to come
by and easy to have - and even easier to define - when times are good and
things are going well. It's at that moment when the world collapses on
your head that you find the truth. I was lucky. My faith was strong and it
sustained me. It still does.
Severe illness does open up a new dimension of understanding, doesn't it?
I was amazed.
Do you have a support group? If not, check into it. I've been a member of
one for 5 years. It really does help. Sometimes you need to say things
that friends and family, in dealing with their own grief, just can bear to
hear.
Feel free to contact me off list if you ever feel the need to talk.

Yes, ask the doctor, especially be careful with the salt. I don't
mean because of any relationship with diet/hypertension here; I mean
that too much salt can be dangerous, especially when people think they
should be drinking spoonfuls dissolved in water.
I hope you (AG) feel better soon.

I wasn't refering to 'meds'. I was refering to 'drugs'. One drug in

LOL <smacks head> Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. wayyyyyyyyyyy "alternative".
Geesh, you can say "smoke a doobie" here.. half this crew probably has
before. I don't know if it will keep the food down, but it might make it
more appealing? If you're into that sort of thing, eh? I'm not.

Funny you should ask. True story...
In the 50's when I was running hard into adolescence, I needed money.
Everybody needed money. I decided that the only way I would have any was
to work for it. As distasteful as that was, I thought I’d play to my
strengths. I’d worked in my parents’ "luncheonette" as they were called
back then, so I had a good enough idea about how food service worked.
I interviewed and was, amazingly, hired by the owner of the Weis Drug
store. My job was to work behind the counter and fill customer orders
for ice cream and soda items, and tell the grill cook what I needed from
her. She’d make those homely sandwiches and side orders of fries or
onion rings or whatever and put them up in the window. I took them and
distributed them to customers. She was Ellen and I was smitten.
She was wonderful. A little older than me, gorgeous, funny, smart, and
with more than sufficient breasts of her own. She kindled all those
things that young women do in young men. She’d banter with me, but it
never seemed to progress as I wished. Until one day she asked me
something about Italian food and I knew the answer. She was impressed
and seemed to see me in a new, more favorable light. Things were
progressing very nicely indeed.
Then came the potato incident and that was that. I’d peeled a potful of
potatoes for her one afternoon before my shift was to start. How’s that
for true love; peeling potatoes off the clock for her? As usual, she
rinsed the spuds and put them back into the pot. Ran cold water enough
to cover them and, as usual, asked me to carry the now-heavy pot to her
work station.
I picked up the pot and it was heavy, maybe a bit more than usual
because I peeled more than usual to show my undying teenaged love.
Lifted it up to my waist and quick-stepped towards her area when she
came up behind me and tickled me and poked me in the ribs. My face was
red from the exertion. My muscles were tight as I struggled with the
unbalanced load. I farted. It wasn’t just a fart, it was a trumpet call,
a clarion; a summons from on high announcing the end of the world as I
knew it.
It exploded in the soft susurrus of the drug store. Seemed to ring from
the old, ornate metal ceiling. Reverberated from the cosmetics counter.
Echoed against the window at the prescription counter. It was Richter
scale stuff - in front of maybe a dozen disoriented customers, a
pharmacist named Wally Wolack who laughed so hard he actually fell to
his knees, and two girls in my class who did that snerky laugh thing
when you're trying not to laugh noticeably. Snorts that they tried to
disguise by coughing and covering their entire faces instead of just
their mouths.
Ellen tried - and failed - to restrain her laughter. Her face was
contorted with the effort, but her shoulders were shaking. And I knew.
Our blossoming love was not to be. She couldn’t be with a person who
farted that stertorously. The whole event was unseemly and not a fit
subject for polite conversation. It should never be mentioned again.
So next day at school, everybody knew about it and either asked
questions or made observations. The questions ranged from "Did you
really fart in Ellen’s face?" to "Was it just a fart, or was it, um, you
know, more...?" The observations mostly came from the guys I hung out
with and who knew I had a thing for Ellen. Things like "One good fart
can weld her zippers shut. Guaranteed." Or, my favorite, "I think you
should buy her a kazoo for Christmas so she’ll remember you."
I didn’t last long in the drugstore lunch counter business.

Honestly, since I had a car wreck a year ago, I get nausea quite often
and go days without feeling like anything is appealing. I drink half
water and half ginger ale with *lots* of ice in it, to get me over the
worst nausea. Then I can drink part of a small bottle of meal replacer
(berry flavored - chocolate will make you barf) and the vitamin B in it
will strim my appetite enough that I can eat cereal (usually 6 hours
later or so). I usually can only keep Corn Chex down for a day, then I
can eat chicken noodle soup. Once that goes through, I can usually eat
normally.
good luck,
-L.

It's getting better - I drank those Ensure things for a while, but
they start to taste a little gamey after a while. Wonder why a car
accident would do that to you?

Could never figure it out. I haven't been right in that regard, since.
I ended up having by Gall Bladder yanked out a year later, but the
nausea still continues. All I can figure is that a nerve got disrupted
and hasn't gotten better or can't repair itself.

Being LI is no fun :(
There is a simple blood test to check for dairy allergy (NOT the same as LI)
if the kid is having dairy issues it won't hurt to have it checked.
Also .. see a ped GI ... I spent years dealing w/ a Ped and GP and got
nowhere. My kid suffered because they didn't know what they were doing.
One visit to the Ped GI and BAM .... we knew what to do for her and she was
no longer in pain.

You'd have to make it a RATT diet to do ME any good. Just smelling bananas
makes me want to throw up when I'm well, can't imagine trying to eat them
when I'm already nauseous.

Broth, possibly matzo balls. If you're able to keep down liquids, then
focus on liquids that at least provide some energy/nutritive value. And
stop pushing yourself by trying to eat things. You can't right now, you're
sick. You are only making it last longer by trying to force yourself to eat
when you're ill like this. Suck up the fact that you're on liquids and
maybe crackers (if you can tolerate saltines you can likely tolerate matzo
balls). The sooner you let your system heal, the sooner you can start
introducing other foods like bananas, rice, and toast (BRAT).
I finally had to force my husband to stop trying to eat the foods I was
having for dinner by not eating them myself so he could get over the bug he
had this last winter. It just kept going and going until he stopped trying
to eat. :)
(I'm not a doctor, and if you haven't seen one yet, you really ought to,
don't just assume there's nothing they can do :)

I think you're missing the point here. If you're sick and having digestive
problems, this "dressing it up" would make it all come back up.

My favorite Jewish deli here in Phoenix serves their chicken soup 4 ways,
with either noodles, matzo balls, krelach, or all 3 together. If I feel
under the weather, I usually stop there and pick up a quart of soup to take
home.

I quoted the whole post, in case anyone still has 'ol Bob killfiled. It's
definitely worth a read. :)
I laughed so hard I woke Crash up, and then I e-mailed it to him. Next
thing I know, he's laughing his butt off, too. Great story, Bob!

I haven't had it either...I'm not ashamed to say so though...Just not a

Thank you for asking. That is very kind. Yes, I am ok. I reach the 5 year
cancer-free mark in July, which means the odds are good that I won't die
in the first 5 years after diagnosis <g>. It also means that my odds are
good that something else will kill me.
I had a very rare form of
gynecologic cancer that kills 1 out of 3 women. My doctor insisted that we
focus on the 2 out of 3 that live. I pointed out that I had never won
anything in my life, but that I had hit the long, long odds by getting
this cancer in the first place! <g>
I wasn't feeling real lucky. The very first call I made when I got the
news was to God. I asked for strength, courage, and peace of mind, which I
was given immediately. Then I put my affairs in order. I prepared for the
worst and hoped for the best. I'm one of the lucky two. It just wasn't my
time to go.
Twelve of us formed an online support group 5 years ago for women with
gynecologic cancers and I've stayed as
a "guide" for newbies. No one understands like one that has been there.
We have about 300 members at any one given time. So, if there is anyone
out there reading this that is dealing with a gyne cancer or precancer (or
with a loved one that is) and in need of a support group, let me know.
