When I worked at the one medical center, the nurses told me that the juice from canned peaches is supposed to calm the stomach. Not sure what it is about them, but I have a stock of cans of peaches just for this purpose. Maybe with the flu it's different though... I know I used ice chips and peach juice for when I am sick and throwing up though. And saltines. Those are always good too.

Glad you are feeling better. Having the flu, or any sickness, over the holidays just stinks. I think my body does it because I'm constantly on the run when I'm working, and when I'm on vacation or when we have off, my body just relaxes and my immune system goes down. Not sure if that's what it is, but it just seems that when I relax, I get slammed!
