Yes I bet you would. No such luck. Just talking from life and nursing experience.....Most of my family have suffered with all sorts of gastric infections and after dry crackers and water, chicken soup is the only thing they can keep down.

Having nursed patients with Clostridium Difficile and Norovirus, same applies to them. CD also requires antibiotics dependent on the different strains of it. That's a different subject however.

They used to give me chicken soup in hospital

[Glory1]

While no great lover of any soup apart from tomato, I'll take @Cleoriff's years of nursing experience over any scientific journal @Mi-Amigo. 

Nurses, in my experience through 4 hospital stays of varying length, knew more about me than any of my doctors. For one thing, they spent considerably more time with me than my doctors.

Now I'm not knocking doctors you understand just saying who spends more time with, and looking after, patients. I had some fantastic and caring doctors. But they saw me once, maybe twice a day, and not every day at that. Nurses, on the other hand, saw me every day throughout their shifts. And it was to them the doctors turned when they wanted to know how I was, before they saw me.

Doctors have gone way down in my estimation since I came back here. The doctors in Thailand saved my life more than once. Here I was in hospital for 6 months longer than necessary as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure @Cleoriff will agree with me too.

I do agree to a certain extent @jonsie although it was Thailand that messed up the resetting of the bones in your leg and gave you an infection which was fairly new and extremely difficult to get rid of. In the UK they had to try and correct all the mess with your leg and couldn't. Hence the amputation.

I think, due to the agony you were in and how ill you were, you possibly forgot that..

I do agree here in the UK they took a lot longer than necessary to decide to amputate.

(just in case anyone wonders how the hell does she know that, she wasn't there? I was in contact with @jonsie and his sons from the day he had the accident. I got to see the xrays and the injuries from photos... and messenger was a hotline :smileywink:)

Q: For people who are wondering what to eat when they have the stomach flu, what are the best foods for recovery?

JW: This can be hard, because when you're feeling sick, sometimes the last thing you want to think about is eating. But eating can help replenish your energy and what you've lost. The best foods for stomach flu recovery are the ones that can provide your body with what it's missing and are easy to digest during recovery.

• Salty crackers: The salt helps replace lost sodium and chloride, plus they're great for nausea.
  
  
• Broth-based soups: The salt is helpful here, too, and there is nothing like chicken or chicken noodle soup to soothe an upset stomach.
  
  
• Rice: Bland foods like rice, toast, dry cereal and pasta deliver carbs for energy but are easy to digest.
  
  
• Eggs: The protein in eggs provides important nutrition to the body and may be easier on the stomach than red meat or chicken.
