Whenever I had stomach bugs in the past my bg would soar just like it
did with sinus infection. So it didn't really matter whether my first
foods were carb or not. I go for toast and vegemite (white bread as
fibre can be very irritating to an inflamed gut) as a first food
generally. Those small containers of KFC potato and gravy have always
stayed down well too. Or should I say gravy and potato, little potato in
them.
