To Barb & anyone who gets this sick

[Guest guest]

Dear Barb,

Sorry to hear of your illness, but I can relate: I'm going through

chemo right now, and sometimes I don't know which end of me I should

point towards the toilet! When I'm real sick and know that anything

I eat is going to come back out in a nasty way, I drink a meal

replacement like Ensure brand. I find I tolerate it better than any

other food, but I'm still left feeling hungry. But better hungry

than sick! It gives you the nutrients and calories you need to

start feeling normal again. Then once you think you can tolerate

food again, eat very small portions of bland foods several times a

day, so your digestive system isn't overloaded from trying to go

back to normal too quickly. It's also easier on your system to eat

only one food group per sitting until your digestive system calms

down. Hope this helps.

Love,
