Question

Looking for advice.  I’ve caught a stomach virus.Looking for advice. I’ve caught a stomach virus. It’s been going through my family. It’s coming out both ends. I would love some Powerade zero or sprite. Just a sip or two. Will this throw me off the IP journey? I’m 3 weeks in and very new to this program. Also what about a few saltine crackers? What’s a good substitute? I also don’t want to dehydrate but the thought of plain water isnt doing it for me. Anything I put in is coming out at this point.  

Answer 1

You should focus on getting well and then get back on protocol.  

Answer 2

There’s Powerade Zero, it has no carbs.  

Answer 3

Coming off the stomach bug myself I used the water enancares and sipped

Answer 4

Kids use brat diet? Bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. Not protocol at all but might help? Get well then get back in the saddle.  

Answer 5

If you want to stay on protocol drink Powerade zero, or water with electrolytes, and soda water (plain nothing added) if you want something bubbly to sip. Make sure to take your supplements. I'd suggest sipping the broth type up soups (chicken? ). I've made the crackers in janevas cookbook out of the tomatoes basil soup and they are good. There's alot of recipes using the potato puree to make something similar to bread. But I agree with everyone else your health is first and if you need to go off protocol to get better then it's a small setback and you can just get back on when you're better.  

Answer 6

The water enhancers have electrolytes like Powerade and my coach says you can drink as much of them as I want all day long

Answer 7

You can have carbonated water like LaCroix.  

Answer 8

get well and take care of yourself right now. Give yourself permission to rest and eat what your tummy can stand in it. After you are well then restart ip.  you
