ktgrok Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 My 3 year old had a BAD, 3 day stomach bug. I seem to have caught it, but it has thankfully been more minor thus far. (no vomiting, just the other end if you know what I mean, and naseua). I'm nursing, and eventually want to eat something to keep up my strength...I'm feeling pretty weak right now. I've given in and am drinking diluted gatorade for the electrolytes, but not sure what else I can eat as this passes? My daughter has been munching on saltines and then some plain noodles. I don't want wheat. I don't want grains, I don't want to start all over getting off the bandwagon. I dislike rice. So...I'm thinking some mashed potatoes? Too tired to cook, so I'm thinking some instant ones would taste good and be bland? Anyone btdt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzybluecheese Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Have you thought about some bone broth? I know this won't stay with you for very long, but it may help you transition back to you regular eating habits. If you don't feel like cooking, maybe just a can of broth.

Crimson Wife Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Baked sweet potatoes, applesauce, etc. I'm not paleo so I also do plain GF oatmeal or a piece of toast made with GF bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lara in Colo Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I did a green juice --- not very low carb, but when I am mending, I don't care. 2 green apples, 4 celery stalks 1/2 cucumber 1 inch of ginger (great for the upset tummy) handful of kale 1/2 lemon or lime If you don't have a juicer, this is moot, but I swear I was gonna die after 4 days of just milk, then my neighbor bought me the veggies and I made this and life was soooo much better.

ocelotmom Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Coconut water is a great source of electrolytes. Poached and soft boiled eggs are a historical convalescent food, and that avoids all the greasy frying. I agree with the previous posters about applesauce and broth. Bananas. Instant potatoes often have some really crappy ingredients. I know you can microwave a sweet potato very easily. Maybe you can do the same with a regular potato, too. I wish I could offer BTDT experience, but I haven't had a stomach bug of any severity since starting paleo, despite being exposed many times and not being particularly sick for the past year (actually, no, I'm glad I can't offer BTDT advice :)).

dbmamaz Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 not paleo, but my go-to is organic blue corn chips. simple chicken too - obviously you need some protein for nursing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipper Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Microwave a regular potato, skin it - mash with a touch of butter and milk/cream (our daughter needs to gain weight), a small bit of salt. I usually add more milk/cream and make it into a small version of potato soup. I add a bit of chicken broth for flavor and sometimes melt cheese in it. I make 'dessert' with mashed sweet potato and some type of sweetener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The progression we use to reintroduce foods: Frozen juice popsicles, rice, homemade chicken broth, applesauce, bananas, veggie or chicken soup with rice noodles, gluten-free bread.
