I don't remember but do you have quark in the UK? That's also a go to of mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-on-a-strict-low-carb-diet-what-do-you-eat-when-you-have-gastro-issues#post-2419132 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 17:35:15 +0000 gingerbebe 2419132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go for storebought chicken broth since it tends to be lighter with some sea salt. If you can find a brown rice green tea, it will give you the taste of toasted grains without actually eating the grains and you might find that soothing. Coconut water is hydrating and gentle and pretty low in sugar. And if you can eat a baked sweet potato, that might help too. If you can have a banana, I'd try to slather some peanut butter on it. Indian pappadum crisps are made with chickpea flour or if you can find some chickpea flour you can make soccas (chickpea flour flatbreads essentially) for a higher protein option. A lentil soup might be good too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-on-a-strict-low-carb-diet-what-do-you-eat-when-you-have-gastro-issues#post-2418743 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 14:14:27 +0000 catomd00 2418743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: lol my mom always add me scrambled eggs when I was sick haha I can't eat them otherwise! Hope you're feeling a little better by now. Tea always settles my stomach, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-on-a-strict-low-carb-diet-what-do-you-eat-when-you-have-gastro-issues#post-2418740 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 14:12:47 +0000 wrkbrk 2418740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Apple and peanut butter? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-on-a-strict-low-carb-diet-what-do-you-eat-when-you-have-gastro-issues#post-2418737 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 14:11:47 +0000 Kemma 2418737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I have heard that the general rule of thumb with illness and GD is to feed yourself what you need before worrying about your sugars! I know you're pretty amazing with your diet so I don't think having some toast over a few days is going to have any negative effects on either yourself or baby. Feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-on-a-strict-low-carb-diet-what-do-you-eat-when-you-have-gastro-issues#post-2418327 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 10:32:27 +0000 JoJoGirl 2418327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bananas are great for settling an icky stomach! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-on-a-strict-low-carb-diet-what-do-you-eat-when-you-have-gastro-issues#post-2418305 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 10:22:42 +0000 mrsjd 2418305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat predominantly paleo in order to keep my weight down. Can you have starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes? Parsnips are also a great potato-like vegetable that I find really satisfying. </p> <p>Or maybe make your own non-carb bread substitute, like <a href="http://lexiscleankitchen.com/2014/08/24/the-ultimate-paleo-sandwich-rolls/" rel="nofollow">http://lexiscleankitchen.com/2014/08/24/the-ultimate-paleo-sandwich-rolls/</a> </p> <p>Also maybe whole or higher fat milk? I find milk really soothing on an upset stomach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-on-a-strict-low-carb-diet-what-do-you-eat-when-you-have-gastro-issues#post-2418235 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:48:26 +0000 avivoca 2418235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: My husband is diabetic and this is what he eats when he is getting over a stomach bug (or any illness, really):<br /> - crackers (maybe spend a bit more and get some whole wheat ones?)<br /> - 7UP/Gatorade<br /> - Plain chicken broth </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-on-a-strict-low-carb-diet-what-do-you-eat-when-you-have-gastro-issues#post-2418199 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:36:29 +0000 snowjewelz 2418199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I was able to have a little bit of carb - just nothing "white" like white bread, white rice, etc. Can you talk to your dr? I think they'd be okay with you just ingesting a tiny bit of carbs to stay alive! My #s were never perfect and my dr was perfectly ok with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-on-a-strict-low-carb-diet-what-do-you-eat-when-you-have-gastro-issues#post-2418123 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:07:09 +0000 Anagram 2418123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I know you can't typically have bananas, but what about these 2 ingredient pancakes just till you feel better? <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2013/04/01/two-ingredient-pancakes/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2013/04/01/two-ingredient-pancakes/</a></p> <p>Or, I've made these before when I was doing low carb, and they are kinda carby although it isn't a sub for bread. <a href="http://nikissweetside.com/low-carb-cloud-bread/" rel="nofollow">http://nikissweetside.com/low-carb-cloud-bread/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-on-a-strict-low-carb-diet-what-do-you-eat-when-you-have-gastro-issues#post-2418064 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 08:34:07 +0000 Corduroy 2418064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This post comes from a paleo blog and has some suggestions:</p> <p>Http://www.marksdailyapple.com/what-to-eat-on-an-upset-stomach/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-on-a-strict-low-carb-diet-what-do-you-eat-when-you-have-gastro-issues#post-2418062 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 08:33:17 +0000 Cherrybee 2418062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions everyone..... but just reading your responses is making me feel really nauseous. </p> <p>@catomd00: I can eat half a small banana as long as its combined with protein.

That's usually my go to (along with toast) when getting over stomach issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-on-a-strict-low-carb-diet-what-do-you-eat-when-you-have-gastro-issues#post-2417983 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 06:10:44 +0000 Cherrybee 2417983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am on a strict low carb diet to control my GD. No bread, no rice, no pasta, no fruit, no breakfast cereal, no bran, nothing with added sugar - I basically live off meat, cheese and vegetables. </p> <p>I'm recovering from a tummy bug. I still feel a little queasy and my stomach is very tender, sore even. </p> <p>Yesterday, I couldn't face food. I ate a piece of toast yesterday afternoon, which I totally shouldn't have (sent my blood sugar through the roof). But I couldn't face anything else and I needed to eat (I'm 25 weeks pregnant). Today, I feel really hungry so I tried some chicken soup - but I cant stomach it. Its too rich and creamy. </p> <p>What on earth can I eat? </p>
