She'll throw it up again and then you go back to more bland stuff and see what happens? I'd be inclined to try it if that's what she's craving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442955 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 12:35:46 +0000 babypugs 2442955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I have a bug, the little McDonald's hamburgers are the only thing I can stomach! I thought I was crazy, glad others are aware of the magical healing powers as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442895 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 11:35:12 +0000 gingerbebe 2442895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also if she's puking water she might need some electrolytes - a few salty fries and a banana might help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442889 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 11:28:03 +0000 gingerbebe 2442889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son had a stomach bug two weeks ago and hardly ate a thing for 2-3 days and my ped told me to let him eat anything he wanted. He had a few mini marshmallows, McDonald's fries, white Gatorade, and in between bites of fries I got him to eat a little baby food (Apple berry oatmeal so something fruity). He was drastically better the next day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442887 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 11:21:48 +0000 SweetiePie 2442887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@My Only Sunshine: I've actually read that in a buzzfeed article or something. It was about hangovers but...same diff :-) It kinda makes sense :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442843 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 10:14:41 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2442843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: my mom's "secret trick" to cure tummy troubles is McDonalds fries and a regular Coke. She has a totally unsupported theory that the grease coats your stomach. Glad your LO is feeling better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442828 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 09:56:31 +0000 Happygal 2442828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I always believed McD's fries have healing powers. Now I know it to be true! Glad she's feeling better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442826 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 09:52:52 +0000 lamariniere 2442826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope she's feeling better! When I have an upset tummy chips (crisps to you) really help me. I think it's the salt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442819 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 09:39:03 +0000 Cherrybee 2442819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! She totally perked up after the fries and we've played with play doh for half an hour! She's now watching Paw Patrol on my bed but, so far, we've not seen the fries! Fingers firmly crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442805 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 09:22:59 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2442805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: when I was sick last winter all I wanted was McDonald's fries when I started to get an appetite back. I kept them down!</p> <p>Hope she feels better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442790 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 08:57:15 +0000 blackbird 2442790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Hahahahah! Hopefully they don't!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442787 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 08:48:25 +0000 Cherrybee 2442787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Oh yummy! Yes, they'd go down a treat!! </p> <p>Well, despite your warnings, she got her fries and she demolished them. She's now lying on my bed and I'm waiting for them to come back up again. Any minute now.....<br /> ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442780 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 08:37:49 +0000 blackbird 2442780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: oh man! They're like a mildly sweet honey flavored cracker </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442776 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 08:31:31 +0000 Cherrybee 2442776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Yes, its a similar thing then. Ours contains added sugar too, and has little chunks of apple in. I cant imagine E eating it, she's not big into fruit or wet textured food..... but those crackers sound like they'd be a hit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442773 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 08:25:26 +0000 Cherrybee 2442773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here is my kitchen! I also have no washing machine for the sick coated bed sheets!! What a nightmare! 😂 </p> [attach=2581/16/o1rpae.337x600.WP_20160129_21_52_51_Pro.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442772 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 08:25:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 2442772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: poor E. I would at least make sure she eats them very slowly. I hope some stay down! </p> <p>Applesauce is pretty much puréed apples here. Very bland and easy to keep down. Graham crackers are sort of a cross between a cookie and a cracker. They are delicious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442769 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 08:22:07 +0000 Cherrybee 2442769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: The problem I have is we are in the middle of a kitchen reno - I have no kitchen, no food in the house and no way of getting anything because DH is working. So.... only toast.</p> <p>Apple sauce is a condiment here?? Is it the same thing?? </p> <p>@blackbird: Never heard of them! Are they like water biscuits? Or Ritz crackers? </p> <p>Okay, so DH came home and E was so excited to see him, asking for fries. So I've asked him to get her some..... I have every reason to suspect we will see the again shortly after :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442747 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 08:00:14 +0000 regberadaisy 2442747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree all that grease is a bad idea. </p> <p>What have you offered so far? I would do crackers, applesauce, etc. very bland food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442736 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 07:51:18 +0000 gracecat 2442736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor thing! Its probably not the best but I would if it's the only thing she'll eat.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442734 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 07:48:03 +0000 blackbird 2442734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think all that grease is a terrible idea. But she could probably use a little salt since she's been vomiting all night. What about crackers? I'm hesitant to go from no food straight to French fries. What about graham crackers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442724 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 07:43:49 +0000 Portboston 2442724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor thing ☹️ if it's the only thing she'll eat, it's better then nothing.</p> <p>Side note- when I'm sick, McDonald's fries is the only thing I want too. But that's a different kind of sick 😉 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442718 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 07:34:31 +0000 Applesandbananas 2442718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try anything at that point. Maybe he can also pick up some Pedialyte? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-vomiting-bug-are-fries-a-bad-idea#post-2442715 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 07:32:25 +0000 Cherrybee 2442715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My poor little E woke up at 3am and vomited everywhere. She threw up a further two times overnight and then twice this morning - 9am and 10.30am, both times after chugging water (I tried to get her to slow down but she was so thirsty).</p> <p>She has kept a little water down but is very weak and pathetic now because she is so hungry. I've offered toast but she wont eat it (not unusual) - but she is specifically asking for McDonalds fries. DH will be home from work any minute and can go get some but is this a terrible idea?? She is very sad because she's so hungry but insistent it has to be fries...... </p>
