After a severe bout of stomach flu and diarrhea what has proven effective for you to ease back into eating, getting some nourishment? Any particular brand of probiotics which worked for you?

Asked by Buttonstc (27605points) July 31st, 2016

I’ve just gone through 4–5 days of vomiting and diarrhea which has left me with no appetite and zero strength and energy.

(And, yes, I’ve seen a Dr.)

I’m currently drinking either Vitamin Water or Lemon Lime soda (both diluted 50% with water).

I’m also mixing the above with tomato juice (also 50%) just to get a bit of salt back into my system.

Even tho I’m sort of hungry, the thought of trying to eat anything, even soup, is not appealing in the least.

I do have a container of egg drop soup, which I normally love, in the fridge but it has zero appeal at this point.

This is really the sickest I’ve been in well over 20 yrs.

So, I’m open to any wisdom you have to share from your own experience. Thanks.
