  Hi Katie,

  My Mom always made a dish of rice pudding for anyone not feeling well.

  I've continued her tradition and even love it for myself when nothing else tastes good. Hope you're all feeling well now. joyce

  Hey Katie, Sorry to hear about the household illness, in our home.. its unfortunatly carbs... cream of wheat, warm bagels. ( this helps with the nausea, and acid buildup) some cream soups besides the homemade chicken soup, jello (sugar free for those who need it) peppermint teas, (calms the tummy again) No packaged meats like bologna, but cooked chiken breast,turkey or a roast. sliced served with favorite veggie(no corn) and applesauce.. hope this helps.. we have some picky eaters in my house... so it's smorgasborg time this season. Get well soon oh drink lots of fluids!!
