Getting Over a Horrible Flu

I have had the unfortunate luck of catching a nasty flu bug, and not like ones I've previously encountered. This flu is nausia, vomiting and some other unmentionables, but the aftermath almost seems worse: namely, you really can't eat any solids for days afterward.

For those of you who have encountered or are encountering this beasty (caveat: I am not an MD), my best success has been to keep down ice chips, lemon-lime Poweraid (all other flavors or brands made me sick), and pretzels. Yep, keeping that up for 2 days has been a feat in itself. I am now slowly progressing onto broth soups.

May you escape this nasty bit of the flu season; and if not, perhaps this can help!
