Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 What do you feed a child who is recovering from an illness? My mother used to give us flat pop, Jell-o, and dry toast, so I have no experience with real foods in this area. My daughter has had the " fever and vomit " bug for the last few days and is now asking for food. I want to be careful what I put in her compromised stomach. I am making a pot of bone broth right now, but it won't be ready until later. Other than that, I'm at a loss. Is toasted sourdough okay? With raw butter or not? Steamed veggies? Is raw dairy a no-no? Um -- what else? Thank you. Terri Finch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 My advice is of course the broth is the best, if you have any chicken feet add them, there might be some if Farm has any food at warehouse.?I saute?finely minced carrots and celery in raw butter very lightly on very low heat and then put them in a cup.? I pour the broth on top and allow my daughter to just sip like a drink and then spoon the softened veggies at the end.? ?Also, what I do is make the honey custard from Nourishing Traditions.? It is really easy to make and little tummy's seem to do well.? It has so much egg yolk and if you are using pastured eggs it is full of good nutrients plus of course raw milk and raw cream.?Any Ames Farm raw honey?tastes great, I buy there " cooking " variety as it is less expensive than the single source and is easy to pour.? ?It is a little treat and my daughter always loves it and somehow the mental healing of spooning something from a little custard cup that I tell her is medicinal carries much healing power.? I hope she is feeling better soon! Maureen -----Original Message----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
