stomach flu / food poisoning

oatmeal
mashed potatoes
a plain sandwich like turkey, or cheese

those are what helped me, idk how far along you are though

white starchy foods worked p well in all their forms

something with tofu maybe?

that's good, i am white and starchy to begin with

xp

cheese, dairy seems dubious to me but i can try turkey tom'w

I have never prepared oatmeal in my life, but ate it several times in Chicago cuz it's what the health cafe in the hotel was serving.

it's easy, even instant unsweetened packets where you add water would be ok

i only suggested cheese bcz you said you could handle yogurt, but def dont overdo the dairy

yeah i was not about to fall into a pizza

Do you have a microwave?

i do, couldn't live w/out it

Oatmeal is dead easy then. Don't get that microwave crap in packets; even regular "old fashioned" oats are microwaveable. 1.75:1 water to oats ratio (ymmv), pinch of salt, nuke three minutes; add a spoonful of butter, splash of milk, sweetener of choice, handful of dried fruit.

Brat diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, toast. But I also recommend psyllium husk which will help absorb liquid. Which you should be drinking a bunch of, regardless.

heheh, you don't understand what constitutes "too much work" in the kitchen for me.

(ie, that) xp

yeah ive been doing the fucking BRAT diet since a week Thursday, and relapse every time i think im over it.

i keep no butter or salt or sweetener in my home.

psyllium husk, aka the main ingredient in good ol' metamucil

oh well, then
xp

lol

i wasnt suggesting instant oatmeal bcz its *good *- i know my audience :)

pasta might be good to try

w/out the sauce?

yeah, tomato sauce would prob be too acidic

a splash of soy sauce or a little bit of olive oil for flavor? idk - i would say butter but since yr no butter you're on your own :)

cooled off cooked potato (has resistant starch which can soothe your gut), add some salt/olive oil

very tired of drinking gatorade and then throwing it all up as soon as I lie down. worst halloween weekend ever.

That sucks. A colleague of mine is out from work with food poisoning or stomach flu. I am really hoping it's the former.

Anyone in NYC for it recently? Brutal one and everyone's getting it

I got mine in Austin, which is way cooler.

My colleague was in Austin for a conference last week.

I can't tell if it is norovirus or food poisoning, but wow this rough. lost seven pounds since saturday.

I'm only two flu outbreaks away from fitting into my favorite pants

norovirus outbreak in my town last week as well

I like how in the UK it's called the "winter vomiting bug" that would be a fantastic rankin-bass christmas special!

this sucks

Hang in there dude :(

oh no poor brad :(
i’ll chopper you in some saltines & flat lemonade stat

had what felt like food poisoning but I think might have actually been lactose intolerance?

had cut out most dairy bcz of bloating etc, mostly on almond milk & very occasional 2% milk.
drank a big whole millk latte on xmas eve, 30 min later felt nauseous, barfed 30 min after that, got the chills & went to bed fully clothed & was barfing intermittently for the rest of the night. was ok by the next morning.
i had no idea it could do that!!

ugh, get yourself to the clinic if it doesn't get any better within a day!

still regret the time I just decided to ride it out and was puking for days

the hot flashes, cramps and chills i am familiar with, but this shaking hands thing is ... different

having this on and off for ten days is starting to concern me

even the toast/rice diet is not working

yikes! now I am concerned for you.

will call the doctor -- one of my 7 or 8 -- in the morning

yeah 10 days is too long, especially for you my friend. Get thee well, Morbz!! <3

In Vietnam. Shaking like a leaf, weak as can be.

Oh no, R! Have been enjoying ur trip pics on IG. Feel better!!!
