Man what a week I’ve had マフラー+(・へ・) I’ve been buried in school work, got food poisoning & sora’s been so upset with me because he hasn’t been the center of my attention (I’ve been too busy taking care of Peter, who also go food poisoning, and myself). Oh and by the way I’ve been trying to read everyone’s blogs when I find free time & comment if I can, but it’s been hard because my laptop is breaking down as well ぼー

anyway the worst of it all is the food poisoning 風邪ひき Along with the disgusting symptoms that come with it, I also got a fever that was on and off all day yesterday. I’m still recovering, but I feel much better にゃ

Because food poisoning is so awful, here are some helpful hints I’ve put together incase you ever get it too. Food poisoning is one of those thing that just has to run it’s course, but these are some things that should help it go by more easily.

Staying Hydrated // What to drink?

Drink lots of water! Chances are you’ll puke it out, but that’s fine. It should help clear out the bacteria anyway. With all of the vomiting, you’ll easily become dehydrated.. so make sure to replace any lost liquids with water. Dehydration will only make your condition worse.

Oh delicious grapefruit juice. SYKE! I hate it, but it’s crazy healthy. It’s packed with vitamin C which helps to support the immune system & has tons of other health benefits. & make sure you get the juice. It’s easier for your body to digest.

Green tea for me! haha sorry I just had a sudden urge to make a rhyme. anyway. . green tea is great and, unlike grapefruit juice, is actually tasty. It’s known to kill bacteria (i.e. the bacteria that causes food poisoning). Drink decaffeinated if you’re able to, but regular won’t hurt either.

Not hungry? Too bad.

This will be hard, but it’s very necessary to keep up your energy. You can’t just eat anything though.

Eat dry foods. They’re easier to chew thoroughly and therefore easier to throw up. (sorry, too gross?) I’ve been eating a lot of pretzels and veggies sticks. yumm

Eat yogurt too I guess. I haven’t eaten any, but I’ve read that it helps treat the damage done by the bacteria. The yogurt however must have live cultures & low amounts of sugar.

What else?
