Continuing with yesterday's post regarding stomach flu - should you be unlucky enough to get stomach flu (norovirus) you will not doubt try to avoid food at first. Here are some tips on what to eat to settle a queasy stomach:
- Take small but frequent sips of water. No gulping, just sips.
- Start back on food with easy-to-digest foods such as saltines or other bland crackers, rice, chicken (not greasy fried!), and bananas, cinnamon and/or jello.
- Avoid the following for a day or so until your stomach feels settled: caffeine, alcohol, fatty foods, and dairy.
- Pain or fever? Take tylenol (acetaminophen) as it is easier on the stomach that similar meds.
