Ramen and the flu

Michael 'Dog3' Lonergan said:

Just got over the worst case of the flu I've had in years. Yep, I had a
flu shot but got some odd strain of it anyway. The only thing I've been
able to keep down is chicken ramen and chicken broth. The salt in the
ramen dehydrates one but I kept pumping liquids, Gatorade and Pedialyte. I
feel better today, my fever is gone and I kept a scrambled egg down this
morning. Life is grand. I may actually eat a burger tonight 😉

I hope none of you get this stuff. It is really nasty but the ramen helped
a lot.

Nice post for a food group. Have you left out any other
alimentary or gastrointestinal problems? It's all quite
appetizing... thanks for sharing.

I'm really sorry to hear you were sick. I'm afraid of getting it this year,
knock on wood I escape unscathed. Glad to hear you're getting better,
you know you're on the mend when food starts sounding good.

Michael, Steven should keep you home and take care of you, so that you
do not get sick again. :o)

I am glad that you are feeling better. Get completely well before the
New Year, so that you can start it in style.

Everything Good, MS

If this is an regurgo type it's making the rounds. Keyron just had it a
few weeks ago, lasted a day and then gone.

I had it a year and a half ago. So it appears I developed some immunity
to it.

Michael, the gastrointestinal (wrongly labeled) "flu" you suffered has
absolutely no connection to the influenza flu shot you got.

The first is totally stomach/intestinal. The second is often
misdiagnosed as a bad cold: fever, body aches, sore throat, and upper
respirator involvement.

Please don't blame the flu shot for not working against something
entirely different from what it was designed to prevent!

David and I have both just been through this. It was awful! The best
thing for us was to stay in bed, take Tylenol, and force liquids.

Take good care of yourself!

The flu is a respiratory system infection. Whatever else you had was
unrelated to having gotten a flu shot. When someone says "stomach flu", just
smile and ask them if they're feeling better.

Hmmmmm

Chicken Ramen it that Japanese, Jewish Penicillin?

Feel better - Jell-O also works well. The sugars help.

I may be wrong, but I doubt it's the sugar. It's the fact that Jello
liquifies at the temperature of your digestive system, so it's just another
way of getting liquids into a sick person who's tired of water, tea, soup,
etc. Or kids.

Wayne, I had just read that the flu had come to Arizona. I'm glad that if
you had to have had it, at least, hopefully you are immune.
Reading the "had to have had it" reminds me -- how does one ever learn
English?
That's a handful of have and had's.

It's actually both. The sugar imparts quick energy to those who are
otherwise not eating. The gelatine is also an important dietary
element for building connective tissue, very critical for those who are
ill and not eating.

Your point?

Yes it is another way of taking "sugar water" The advantage to Jell-O the "mouth
feel" not to mention the protein.

Yes, there are many flu cases here. There were quite a few people out sick
from my office and David's office. We both got sick at the same time with
the same symptoms, so not sure where we were exposed. I'm glad it's over!

You poor dear. Glad you're feelingi better!

Ahhh man Michael so sorry to hear you've been sick too. My family of 4 got
sick last week. I started getting sick on Tuesday and I just felt human
again on the following Monday. It was a full service flu no symptom was
avoided. Had to miss Christmas celebrations with 2 families. Just didn't
want to spread this vile thing around.

You're right though noodles and chicken broth help tremendously. I made a
big pot of soup and added extra noodles. We ate that for several days and I
froze some too.

If one has runny tummy, one should avoid too much sugar as the high
osmolarity draws water into the gut which can increase the "runny tummy"
problems.
