I am super sick right now and haven’t eaten much in a few days. It’s getting to the point where I am gonna need to force myself to eat something to keep my strength up but everything just sounds terrible to me right now. I have been subsisting mostly on small glasses of milk and the occasional packet of instant oatmeal.

Any suggestions on things to eat that go down easy and has nutritional value? Flavor is pretty far down on my list of requirements right now and I’m finding myself exhausted after chewing a few bites. Any serious suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Ive had diabetic ketoacidosis a few times. Once it starts coming on you can’t eat Anything. For a couple days or more.

    Then the treatment is ice chips and IV insulin for a few days.

    Coming out of it, your stomach is the size of a walnut and the thought of eating makes you want to make you puke.

    My roads back to eating:

    Broth from ramen cups. Liquid meal replacements. If you have a soy allergy, take a close look at the ingredients. Miso broth.

    Drinkable yogurt.

    Bland pasta with just olive oil.

    Granola bars.

    My experience is that I eventually get hungry again.

    Best of luck dealing with your situation.

    Edit: per others, chicken soup (I can get the broth down) and Pedialyte or Gatorlyte. Getting dehydrated does not help.
