Thread: Foods and Being Sick

coscos is always good.

Popsicles

and Cheerios

if im sick with the flu or basically anything that doesn't involve a sore throat... by body craves orange juice. i usually dont eat much. i go for the flavorless stuff because i usually can't taste anything so i eat toast or saltine crackers.

I eat a lot of toast and drink a lot of Sprite. That always does the trick.

Alot of times if I have a cold I want BBQ chips. Chicken noodle soup is always good too.

Some food I like when I'm sick, especially nauseous (assuming that I can still eat some)

Carrots

Noodles

Chicken soup

Fish (especially salted cod)

Eat your favorite foods, even if they're nothing but junk food.

When I'm sick, any sort of carbonated drink works really well, especially if I have a sore throat. Gotta have chocolate as well. And pizza sometimes.

Bisque! All the flavour you want, with none of that annoying "chewing" crap

That, and I drink tea all day.

If you have the flu, I would highly recommend not drinking tea or apple juice. Tea, even herbal tea, is acidic, and apple juice... well, just don't. It's bad. Bad, bad, bad!

When I have a cold, I'm drinking tea all of the time. Also, even if you have a sore throat, if you can get your hands on some fresh lemons, hot lemonade is wonderful! It will probably hurt a bit to drink it at first, but the heat feels very good. Basically add about two or three parts water to one part fresh lemon juice, and then add sugar to taste.

Just about anything hot is what I crave when I have a cold...

Matzah Ball Soup and Crackers.
