Sorry guys, we're down-and-out with a stomach bug - possibly this violent, highly contagious Australian norovirus. And right now thinking, eating and even blogging about food is far from our minds.
Our words of wisdom:
- Stay hydrated, but don't overdo it with drinks like Pedialyte or Gatorade, they can intensify your symptoms.
- Try my Mom's secret weapon - Italian ice. It's a cool treat without dairy and it takes ages to eat, so your stomach doesn't panic at food
- Stick to the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce and toast) for very bland foods. Avoid spice, grease and dairy.
- Of course, wash your hands!! They say hand sanitizer and Lysol just aren't cutting it with this bug. It takes diligent handwashing with soap and warm water and bleach to clean hard surfaces.
- And finally, and I think I'm learning this the hard way - don't be too confident in your wellness. You can easily overdo it and make yourself ill; thanks tuna melt!
