> When I was a child and occasionally ill with the flu or nausea, our old-school

pediatrician had a four-day diet for reintroducing foods, very similar to SCD

but with some

disaccharide sugar. I do recall that the first thing one was to take by mouth

was small

sips, as tolerated, of water and carbonated drinks, then weak teas and broth.

Since you

don't tolerate plain water, perhaps carbonation would be tolerated?Although the

gingerale

and Seven-Up we used (in the pre-corn-syrup Dark Ages when I was a child) were

off-diet,

there are legal carbonated waters and club sodas that could be used plain or to

make your

own carbonated drink. Or there are some carbonated fruit drinks and

honey-sweetened

ginger drinks available commercially if you confirmed to your own satisfaction

that these

contained no illegal ingredients. Or you could always make your own, the

pecanbread way

(sigh.)

Sorry but carbonated fruit drinks and honey-sweetened ginger drinks available

commercially are not allowed on SCD. I do as you hane mentioned, make my own by

adding fruit juice to perrier and adding one saccharine tablet (Hermasetas).
