I could see something like rice pudding being soothing. And if you like it hot chocolate (don't think you can still get "Benger's" which I've read being recommended in older books) and the more modern fresh soups are good, I often find those good when I'm not feeling so good. Mrs Beeton is online and has two chapters on invalid cookery: http://www.mrsbeeton.com/38-chapter38.html<br /><br />Hope you both feel better soon and definitely do speak to the dr.

I'm thinking of all the things which sustain me if I don't want to eat (a rare event). Dextrose tablets would give short-term energy, enough to allow you to heat the chicken soup or make hot chocolate. Have you considered Complan? These things are usually in the supermarkets near the aspirins and other remedies.<br />I hope you feel better soon.

I will see if I can find our copy - it had things like beef tea and barley water and junket but must also have had more useful things! One must eat - and, in our heat, drink a great deal (but mostly water!)catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.com
