The past few months, I also needed to take a presciption medication that made me nauseous regularly. This remains as THE ONLY FOOD that I can hold down when I am ill and recovering from a stomach bug. It is gentle, mild flavored, completely smooth, can be mixed to any consistency (from ‘smoothie’-like to paste-like)…and it just stays down. Doctors always say to start back on food with that “BRAT” diet — banana, rice, applesauce, toast — well, this seems to have 3/4 of those in 1 box! As a bonus, it has excellent nutritional value — gives you some vitamins and such, versus when you only eat plain rice or toast. It gets me back on my feet much sooner…and it takes almost no effort to make it (important to me, since when I’m sick, I don’t want to be ‘vertical’ any longer than I have to!) I usually just mix it with water, which works wonderfully (I stay away from dairy if I’m ill). You can eat it cold or warm. I find it to be kind of soothing when I’m under the weather. It doesn’t spoil, and I always keep some on hand just because you never know when you’ll get sick (or at least I don’t, what with students sneezing in my face!!) Finally, I must admit that I think it’s YUMMY! I do wish they still made just the banana rice kind — I wonder why they discontinued that, which I remember having as far back as the 1970s? But this is pretty close. I’ll admit to having a little bowl of it now or then just as comfort food! 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. |
