For Upset Tummy

Who says you can't enjoy eating healthy? When someone is sick that is the time you can exaust all your effort in thinking what food to cook to make him well. He was suffering indigestion for days already so I decided to make a meal that he can eat and enjoy at the same time. Anyone sufferring from diarrhea make sure to remember these things so as not to worsen the condition:

  • Drink lots of water, gatorade or glucolite to prevent dehydration
  • No oily and fatty food
  • Avoid beef and pork...steamed white meat chicken and fish are better for they can be digested easier plus you get your daily protein needs.
  • No dairy products except for Yogurt. Look for yogurt that contains live or active cultures.
  • Try white rice and mashed potatoe-skip the butter and milk. Add spices instead for flavor
  • White bread and crackers -eat whole grain products
  • Have some tea-Chamomile and Peppermint is the best for it has a soothing effect.
  • Eat Bananas- it calms upset stomach
  • Avoid Sugar -Free food-it can have laxative effects
  • Avoid gas producing food-Beans, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Onions, Sweet potatoes

Here are pictures of the food I made...talk about comfort food:
