I'd also suggest a high-quality probiotic (Klaire Labs is really great). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recovering-from-stomach-bug-wwyd#post-2715073 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 13:31:55 +0000 gingerbebe 2715073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah my son almost always has a "growth spurt" a week or so after he's sick where he eats a TON. Just feed him what he likes to eat and he will take care of it. We let our son have a few more treats after being sick and he eats seconds of his meals and it's great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recovering-from-stomach-bug-wwyd#post-2715072 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 13:31:37 +0000 Truth Bombs 2715072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as you have food available and are regularly offering without limitation, I think that's all you need to do. His body will eat what it needs to eat to get back to healthy place. I don't think you need to go out of your way to offer high fat/high calorie options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recovering-from-stomach-bug-wwyd#post-2715066 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 13:28:36 +0000 Pumuckl 2715066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: with my kids they usually gain back weight quickly. They just naturally seem to eat more. So instead of just seconds they'll have thirds etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recovering-from-stomach-bug-wwyd#post-2715038 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 13:09:19 +0000 travellingbee 2715038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: ah smoothies are a good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recovering-from-stomach-bug-wwyd#post-2714980 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 12:37:49 +0000 Littlebit7 2714980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe some smoothies with coconut oil blended in if he can drink out of a straw?<br /> Peanut butter toast?<br /> Just make sure you counter the dairy with some fiber so he doesn't get constipated. A lot of the weight loss might be just from dehydration, so I'd imagine he'll gain a bit back quickly when his fluids get balanced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recovering-from-stomach-bug-wwyd#post-2714965 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 12:27:02 +0000 travellingbee 2714965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS2 (14 months) had an epic stomach bug over the weekend and we think he lost about 3 pounds. We were so sad that his little chubby tummy looks so slim now. :( I want to fatten him back up. He doesn't care for avocado but he does like cheese and milk so I've been trying to get a lot of those in him. Should I try pediasure or anything or just let nature take care of it? </p>
