Had the stomache bug....

[ColombianbabeNYC]

I actually had the stomache bug, which was actually a lot like food poisoning- the worst possible shit of my life, on Saturday night. Thank God it lasted only eight hours tops. Gatorade actually did wonders in overcoming my dehydration btw. Only now my concern is that I am afraid to eat. I started up my t-rex as soon as I was feeling better and normally choke it down with a bananna, but cant seem to do it lately. Just drinking a lot H20. Are there any start up foods that I can work with that would be both ideal for digesting and my carb depleating diet?
Also let me mention that t-rex is awesome

Most of the food on a typical "cutting diet" is pretty bland anyway so I'd think you'd be ok just keepign the spices, etc. to a minimum until your stomach is completely settled. Be sure you eat somethign w/ the T-rex if that tends to give you a knot in your stomach if you take it on an empty stomach. Maybe watch things like broccoli because they cause gas -- or include Beano or digestive enzymes w/ that.

Also it might help you ease back into things in general if you include some Ginger Root when you eat - its great for settlign an upset stomach. (You can get it at any health food store in cap formula). We used it on the scuba charter I used to work on when people got seasick. Better than having someone yak in your dive bag...)

I am so sorry to hear that you were so sick!! I hope you get feeling better really soon and are able to jump back into training quickly!

Usually after a stomach virus--you need to do the BRAT diet--bananas,rice,applesauce then toast. When you can hold these down...priceed to other foods. Hope you get well soon!
