What Do You Eat When Sick?

I was wondering what people eat when they are sick (but not from gluten). The foods I used to eat are no longer okay to eat. All I have in my cupboards for when I am sick is a couple of boxes of jello. What else should I add? I live alone so I need to be prepared before I get sick. Thanks for the help.

I woke up with the sniffles and coughing today, so I made some Mom's Penicillin: Chicken soup!

I made homemade broth: chicken breasts, carrots, onions, celery, salt and pepper

Then I shredded the chicken and took out the chunks of veggies, and added chopped carrots, onions, celery and turnips. Once the veggies were done, I added Quinoa macaroni. It was divine. I made a big batch and then put it in ziploc freezer bags for next time. I took the noodles out before freezing.

Soooo good!

I also make chicken soup, but a little easier. Water, chopped up chicken breast, rice, diced carrots, diced onion, and boullion. You can get as homemade or as "buy the ingredients ready to go" as you want in most of the cases.

I love hot chicken soup when I don't feel well. If I don't feel up to making it (and don't have any in the freezer) I always keep some Pacific Foods Chicken Broth in the pantry. The individual serving boxes are nice to put into a mug and microwave.

Glutino makes a cracker that is very good to go with or to nibble on if your stomach is iffy.

Greek yogurt with honey is nutritious, creamy, and easy on a sore throat. :)

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Thank you so much for your response! It's been a challenging journey with this condition!

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein bars, nuts) and research gluten-free translation cards for Aruba. On flights, opt for packaged gluten-free meals or eat beforehand. Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:   You’re doing all the right prep—trust your research and enjoy your trips!
