Stomach Flu

[Lucky_Scrunchy]

My little guy is getting over the stomach flu and hasn’t been eating because of it. His appetite hasn’t fully returned. I’d like some ideas on some simple but fattening foods that I can feed him to plump him up again.

Thxs!!!

tomato soup and crumpled crackers, or mushroom soup, depending on what he likes.
those to be light on the stomach.

as for fatty goods, bacon sandwich always cheered me up

Avoid fats (milks, cheese, butter, nuts) & acids (tomatoes, oranges) for about a week … Salty starch foods & pedialite (Clear liquids). Slowly add milk, then other fats and then acids.

Thank you all!!

White bread, white crakers, corn, rice and yogurt as the only dairy product. Avoid meat, vegtables (other than corn) and most fruits. Bannanas should be okay.

A few weeks ago I just recovered from that. Well, here are some bland choices that he can (should) eat until his appetite is better: Plain toast, eggs, (egg sandwich) , FLAT sprite or seven up (pour it into a cup and stir it until the carbonation is gone), saltines, water, white rice.

Don’t eat or drink dairy products (until appetite has come back). Rest. Check temperature frequently to make sure it doesn’t turn into a fever. (mine almost did).

Keep him hydrated with pure water. Typical city water has chorine and fluoride, both of which are not compatible with any tummies, over the long haul, especially tender tummies of children. Pure foods, the fewer processed in boxes or cans, are more nutritious. I wouldn’t give carbonated beverages to a sick child, though. Hope your little one feels better soon and that the rest of the family escapes his illness.

As kids, when we were recovering and lacking appetite, my mother came up with “party” suppers: Toast white bread, spread with whatever appropriate foods suggested above, cut up into small squares, decorate, and serve on plates in the living room as you would when receiving guests. All of a sudden it went down much better!

What a nice mom!! Creative and thoughtful and loving.

When he truly is recovered, try peanut butter. It’s fatty but also a good source of protein, which he’ll probably need after being so sick.

My little grandson is just recently out of the hospital with an awful virus, vomiting, high fever, etc., and had very little appetite. He did eat organic yogurt, bananas, and crackers. He seemed to find the fruit-flavored yogurt very soothing. He still nurses, and that is all he wanted to do for the first several days. He also would take the Pedialyte, thank God.
