I've been sick since Monday night with flu-like symptoms and in the last 36 hours or so, all I've had was ginger ale, tea, water, and one bowl of miso soup. I have no appetite and the thought of food makes me gag.
My husband says I HAVE to eat something. My mom says to eat only the things I want to eat.
What do you think?

I hope you feel better!!!! Sounds like we have something similar...I've been barfing with no appetite since Monday. My husband says I have to at least drink milk and chicken broth for the baby!

@autumnlove: Milk!?!? That's the last thing on earth I'd want to have. I've always thought to stay away from dairy when sick...I don't know why.

Plenty of fluids is a must if you're ill. Maybe something with calories will help also like sprite or gatorade?
I normally have some toast and rice porridge if I'm ill. Rice porridge is usually comforting even if I don't feel like eating.

I never lose my appetite when I'm sick, wish I did sometimes! 
I would think soup, OJ or toast might be better options than milk, which isn't good for nausea or for mucus-related problems. I hope you feel better soon! Fluids are probably most key. What about Gatorade?

@tororojo: I never lose my appetite when I'm sick either. Hell, I never lose my appetite anytime.

I do. If I don't eat I'll get a migraine, so I'll be even sicker. I think in general it helps to have food in your belly to keep your strength up.
Hope you feel better!
