Hellobee Boards

Could you eat just broth or bouillon without the rest of the soup? That's usually my go to (along with toast) when getting over stomach issues.

@Cherrybee: hmm...do you have any Vietnamese places near you? I love a good Pho when I'm sick, you could get it without the noodles.

Can you try quinoa? Or tofu? Maybe slice the tofu thinly and bake it so it's crispy and cracker-like.

Eggs? Can you do banana?

This post comes from a paleo blog and has some suggestions:

@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.

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.

Or maybe make your own non-carb bread substitute, like http://lexiscleankitchen.com/2014/08/24/the-ultimate-paleo-sandwich-rolls/

Also maybe whole or higher fat milk? I find milk really soothing on an upset stomach.

@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!

@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.

I like some plain chicken if my stomach isn't back to 100% yet after a bug (you could cook it in the broth). I don't remember but do you have quark in the UK? That's also a go to of mine.
