Eating when sick

[vsg2410 41]

Hi everyone,

I’m almost 4 months post op and I think I’m fighting some kind of bug so my stomach and appetite are a bit off. Normally when my stomach is feeling off meat and cheese are the last things on my mind… my body seems to crave fruits and veggies and can tolerate simple carbohydrates. I know to stay away from the breads, but what have you guys found to be helpful foods when you’re sick?

chicken Soup, universally known as a cure all. I buy it in a tin.

Yep, I’d go down the Soup path too. Homemade or bought you’ll be able to get a better range of your needed nutrients & calories.

I had Covid a month ago & continued to eat in my usual way. My taste & smell wasn’t affected. (Horrendous throat at night, congestion, cough & low energy only.) My appetite was a little affected so sometimes I didn’t eat all my meal though usually most of it. It will, however, depend on your symptoms & how they make you feel.

Hope you feel better soon.
