Welch’s concord grape juice. For one of my daughters, her favorite is banana popsicles.

gingerale for one of my kids, Seltzer water with lemon for me, and everyone asks for lightly buttered toast w chicken noodle soup at the end of their illnesses. sometimes my quesadillas if they are feeling much better.

I guess it depends on what kind of sickness I have. If I have a cold, I'd probably enjoy some nice warm soup. For stomach virus, listen, to be honest I would try to drink water with Pedialyte powder in it, but I wouldn't want anything to eat at all because all I do is (TMI) toss my cookies and cry in the bathroom. I'm not even joking here. I'm famous for this and everyone in the family knows it. I haven't had flu in 22 years. No idea what I'd eat or drink...probably the Pedialyte powder in water.

Mountain sickness is another story. This last time I had it, I lost my appetite completely, forgot about the Pedialyte and ended up in the hospital for about 8-10 hours.

I’d like to place an order for one of your quesadillas for tomorrow. I think I’ll be ready for one by then.

Jersey Girl, I am having difficulty thinking of enjoying food while ill. Just simple is ok.

I am having difficulty not being curious about your mountain sickness. It might be too personal to ask about but was quite surprised thinking of hospitalization. I had not considered that a possibility outside of seriously high mountain climbing. My hiking may go from around 1000 ft where I live up to say 7500 ft in a day. Some discomfort from elevation is possible but a good night sleep at elevation takes care of it. I do remember a car trip across country where we went from Missouri boarder to top Berthoud pass Colorado in a day. I felt some panic from the sense of suffocating. Back into the car and heading down in elevation solved the problem.

I don't know what natural calm is, but the combo sounds soothing.

Weaps I looked it up and I think it's a mag supplement.

Green tea. My doctor recommends green tea for when I'm sick. My guess is that a bowl of pho would probably be of help for when I am not strong like buffalo.
