You could try eating some crackers, toast, pretzels, etc. All help settle the stomach. I think my mother told me that sipping on warm coke also helps the stomach.

Having numerous food allergies, I understand your fear, and had to work with a therapist, nutritionist, and allergist (and some good friends and my Mom) to become educated on and confident in eating and knowing that I will live thru it - even if I react to it. I have antihistamines and my epi-pen now, as well.

You might want to recall what you ate last Monday (and avoid those) and see an allergist to check for sensitivities to those foods. This will give you some confidence in eating.

In the meantime, ASHLEY made good food recommendations. You need to keep your carb level high enough to give you sufficient energy, and you need your electrolyte balance maintained or re-achieved.

Don't know if your reaction was in the preparation, the content, or what. Has this happened before or was this a first time? have you had other episodes of vomiting after or during a meal?

release2find I ate a creamy chicken and dumpling soup and i don't know if i just ate to much or if it just didn't agree with me. I usually don't throw up after i eat sometimes i get panic attacks after i eat. I just don't want to eat anymore because of the fear of being ill afterward but i don't feel good not eating either because i am hungry.

humans are one of 2 animals that have a wonderful or horrible little defense mechanism that makes it so once we are poisoned by something we won't go back due to a response from our body. I once ate enough of those cheap waffer cookies i got sick, after i was done being sick, the smell of it alone made me want to vomit. In this case you ate something, it made you sick (ie poisoned you) and so your body is resisting it. It will pass in time, but for now listen to it and ease back into food slowly. eat things that are relatively bland and with little taste so that you won't cause further poison resistance to things, eventually your body and subconcious should get to a point where you will be able to eat freely, though whatever poisoned you may bother you for a long time.... The waffer cookies it took me 20+ years to get over :P it was bad :P

RSKB, it is hard to say if it was the content or the condition of the food. Sometimes I react to things that are "about to go bad" but they do nothing to others that eat it.

Yes, eating causes panic in me most times. One day I made "ritz soup" (crumbled ritz and warm water) and ate a piece of cheddar...to get strength and courage to try other meals. I also bought jr baby foods that had only the ingredient and water..(well I also had a tooth pulled and had sutures and needed soft smoothie type foods)..

Then I ate steamed veggies and cooked my own beans and added very little else to these...for peace of mind and b/c of allergies.

Try a piece of banana; cracker; cheese; a lettuce; boiled eggs; boiled chicken breast and its broth...But keep you your salt and potassium levels (electrolytes) and get some carbs in you (bread crackers rice)so you won't feel hungry.

I have even eaten rice and broth with just a pinch of salt and bell peppers and onion for seasoning.

Get creative and try what you have confidence in. Please keep me posted. Don't get too weak.

I went to ER and asked for help when mine got that bad--that's how I ended up with the therapist and nutritionist and back at the allergist (who gave me a helpful restrictive diet as well).
