AllieH585 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hey guys I'm relatively new to the whole 30 program but I'm already on Day 8 and loving it! Unfortunately I've come down with pneumonia. Any ideas or helpful tips on getting through illness without getting off course on my awesome whole 30 journey would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment
doreau Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Do you have any broths in your freezer? these times call for lots of soup to keep you going. Maybe some pureed sweet potatoes or squash for something easy too? Link to comment
AllieH585 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 I have bone broth defrosting now and yesterday I had some delicious pureed sweet potatoes. I'm looking for easy protein options and anything additional to help. I've hear kombucha drinks are great but i don't know much else and I'm just feeling really crummy. I appreciate any advice Link to comment
LauraLish Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Sorry you feel bad! You should take some probiotic supplements, especially if your doc has you on a course on antibiotics. Wait until you've taken all the pills though. Take it easy and rest, feel better soon! Link to comment
AllieH585 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks! I'm planning on drinking some kombucha once I've finished the antibiotics. Can't have yogurt anymore, so seems like kombucha is the next best thing?? Link to comment
doreau Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I would say for an easy protein throw some chicken or pork into your slow cooker, so it gets really tender and you can shred it. then it should be easy to add to some soups and more digestible with the broth. Bubbie's sauerkraut or pickles are also probiotic but they might be a little tough depending on how you're feeling. Link to comment
pelicans4 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I recently had pnemonia....the worst ever! Not sure if you signed up for the whole30 daily emails but they address getting sick on Day 3 and have some good advice. ( I can email it to you if you don't have it already) PLEASE listen to the lady who recommended probiotics!!! My anti-biotics made me soooo sick, I was nauseous for two weeks, not right away but the following week. Be careful, hope you feel better soon! Link to comment
