Jello
I remember being told that when you have the stomach flu and you are starting to eat again a good food to eat is Jello because it is a solid and a liquid. It is very good for the stomach. Well our family had the stomach flu this week. It was not fun. We were suppose to go up to Dallas to the temple with another family in our ward yesterday. We had to call them and tell them we couldn't go because we were all sick. We knew it wouldn't be smart to go for a 3 hour car drive without a toilet. Last night I remembered the advice I had been given about the Jello and I decided to make Jello for the family. Reagan had never eaten Jello before. I have given it to him but he would never eat it. Well last night he decided it was the best thing ever. He loved it! So did Abe and I. There was one thing that I don't remember being told. Stay away from Red Jello. Red Jello will stain the hands of little boys that refuse to use silverware. It will also stain clothes of messy eaters. After eating I said "Oh well, the color will eventually come off his hands and he ruined an outfit at least he is happy and feels better." A couple hours later Reagan threw a fit. He cried and screamed so hard that he threw up. What I now know is stay away from red jello when you have been sick unless you would like to have red carpet.

ReplyDeleteWhen get the tummy flu I drink Vernors-this really strong tasting Ginger-ale it makes me feel better sorta-I think I just like it because I got it when I was little.
It could be worse. Several years ago Ben had a colonoscopy. We wasn't suppose to eat any solids the previous day but he could eat jello. He ate a lot of GREEN jello. All of the tests showed up in green. It didn't sound very pretty. I hope everyone feels better.
