Help for Hubby

SandPiper — Tue, 03 Oct 2017 16:03:36 GMT

My husband is just getting over a stomach virus. I want to watch what I give him to eat. I made him eggs and toast yesterday and the only other thing I can think of is plain baked chicken. Does anyone have any other suggestions. I’m sure my husband would appreciate it.

There's the BRAT diet = Bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. Only to be followed for a day or so.

Hope your hubby feels better soon !

We love Healthy Choice Chicken and Rice and Chicken Noodle soups. The broth is yummy. One can makes a wonderful large bowl and it's isn't loaded with salt.

Also, pears in their own juice.

(The Vegetable Beef is very close to homemade.)

@SandPiper, I hope that you husband is doing much better. As I was getting over the nurovirus, I had diffculty eating and relied on seasoned broth. I stumbled on this recipe for Egg Drop Soup, which I had never had before, but was very good.

Ingredients:

32 ounces of chicken broth (I use unsalted chicken stock)

1 tsp ground ginger

1 Tablespoon soy sauce

2 eggs, beaten

1/4 cup chopped green onions, about 2 green onions

salt and pepper

Directions:

Combine broth, ground ginger, and soy sauce in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.

Slowly steam in beaten eggs while stirring the soup in one direction.

Add green onions. Salt and pepper to taste.

I did not thicken the broth, but you could whisk together 1 T of cornstarch with 2 T chicken broth/stock.

The key is to stay away from milk products.

Chicken soup. In fact check on some other soups too.

Last year I got a stomach virus that only lasted about 24 hours but then I had very little appetite for over a week. And let me assure you that having low appetite is crazy unusual for me! Ha!!! About five days into this my sweet neighbor insisted on bringing me some potato soup. I'm not really a huge fan of potato soup but it was like the best thing I ever put in my mouth. Delicious! I couldn't eat much of it at a time, but every mouthful was just so good. I don't think I will ever forget it!

BRAT diet. Clear broth. Just keep him hydrated with low fiber foods for now. When he gets hungry, that tells you he's ready for more variety.

I know it isn't the heathiest thing...but, after a stomach bug I like to have Campbell's Tomato Bisque Soup. I cook a half a cup of so of rice and add it to the soup.

I had a spell where I just had NO appitite for a few weeks. Chicken soup broth and a couple of the noodles was a meal. When I did start wanting to eat, baked, breaded whitefish was good.
