Yeah so I’ve been trying to go vegan all year and I’m pretty proud that I’m for all intents and purposes fully vegan at this point. Except I’ve been dealing with some stomach issues this past week or so, and unfortunately many of my go to stomachache recipes use chicken: plain chicken and rice, chicken soup, chicken broth, etc.

I’m wondering what, as vegans, you all eat when you’re dealing with stomach issues. I can generally stomach oatmeal, although not too much of it, and plain white bread, again not too much. Bananas are always a go to for me also. But I’m unsure of what else to eat - beans are out, I feel like most nuts are out? What do you all eat when dealing with stomach issues?

    This has been my project lately. Replacing chicken noodle soup essentially.

    Congee is a big one, seitan or just sweet potato and ginger. Can make with oats if you’re up for eating something more substantial.

    Miso soup, optionally seaweed, rice/mung bean noodles, corn, silken tofu depending on what you need to get down.

    Savoury oats, so cooked in broth (e.g. miso paste and water) with ginger and whatever else. Oats cooked with water are much lighter and if you’ve been throwing up salty broth can help you get some electrolytes back.

    Pearl barley stew in the slow cooker. Tomatoes and other light veg flavours.

    Thin white bean soups? Like potato and leak. Make it it a bit watery so it’s less heavy in the stomach.

    GL <3 being sick is miserable.
