My gram is a nurse and when your sick like that she says dont take immodium, you want to let all those yuckies in your digestive track to get out. If you can stomach it yogurt and cranberry juice (separate of course) helps reset the natural balance. Being diabetic be sure to check sugars often as being sick can change things up. Hot tea, toast, rice and mashed potatoes are good things to try to eat. Be sure to get enough fluids and sleep, sleep, sleep. Im starting on something right now that my mom was kind enough to drop off a couple days ago.
