At first I thought it was really dry unseasoned chicken mixed in with the rice. Crackerw in rice is a texture crime!

looks good to me. anyone that thinks this is bad is just mean.

Is this all you could stomach? If so, totally understandable and not shitty. Listening to your body and giving it nutrients to build back up slowly.
I’d take a multivitamin tho idk

Sometimes when I get the stomach bug I get some baby food, not like the mush but stuff like banana cookies or sweet potato crackers. Since they’re for babies they’re veeeeery easy on the stomach and they taste better than just saltines and rice

mmmmm that BRAT diet is all too familiar, hope your gut gets better soon!

Got to love the brat diet. Might I suggest you buy some cheap ice cube trays and fill them up with something that’s got electrolytes in it like Pedialyte or Gatorade? When you can’t hold things down, but you can still get a little bit by sucking on it.

It sucks being that sick. I’m sorry, dude. I hope you feel better soon.

It’s okay to put sauce on it

Get some organic bone broth to add to the rice.

Thanks for telling me, I really care about that.

Sometimes the recovering body wants a hit of simple, easy to digest carbs. I’m glad you’re feeling well enough to eat.

Lately (last year or so) I’ve been experiencing stomach issues and I’ve had periods of 2-3 days of not eating here and there and it’s genuinely the most frustrating thing – not being able to eat when you’re hungry and not being able to distinguish hunger pangs from stomach pain. What saved me was Gatorade, specifically the kind with increased electrolytes. One bottle and I wouldn’t feel hunger for 3-4 hours and it really helped me get over the overall discomfort.

Those carbs will give you the energy to eat some protein later.

Chicken bouillon cube in with the rice while it’s cooking adds flavor and is still easy on the stomach!

I thought it was scrambled eggs and thought hmm, that’s not too bad

Allergic to seasoning as well? Damn

I ate stuff like that for a week once. It felt so good when I added a tiny amount of sauce for the first time.

I just ended 5 days on a liquid diet. I think I’d stick with liquids before opting for this.

As someone with chronic GI problems, rice and saltines are a must have in my household.
But the real life-saver is hydrating items like clear broth (low salt), water, coconut water or electrolyte beverages like Pedialyte. You can add some things for flavour and relief like ginger and mint, but only in small amounts

That is probably the first post in this sub that has actually made me gag.
I’m sorry you’ve been unwell, I hope you were able to get some sustenance from this and begin to feel better.
Saltines are my least favorite, and plain white rice is also very low on my list of what to eat.
Bland and dry on plain rice…I’m thirsty for you.
Yes, I know some of my feelings are not popular opinions. I understand the reasoning behind OP’s dish.

Ugh, I’m sorry OP. Just got over one that sent me to the ER. I hope those saltines bring you good spirits 🙏

Worst stomach bug you’ve ever had* Trust me there are worse out there. Hospital trips for fluids and monitoring while shitting yourself to death is not fun times. Glad you are back in solids though! Hope tomorrow is a tastier meal.

I am in the exact same situation 😭 hope you feel better soon
