[blparent] Drinking Juice (was solids after digestive trouble)

Hopefully so.  We found that Gatorade and ginger Ail worked about as well as
anything.  Sugar is easily processed by the digestive system, which is
exactly what you want when the system is sick.  Restoring electrolytes and
replacing fluid and a few calories is about the best you can do until the
fireworks start to calm down.

Interesting.  I had bought the juice made especially for babies, but Sarah 
won't touch it, ever.  Maybe that's a good thing!  *Smile.*  She's eating a 
little now, though not what she was before she got sick.  I do think she's 
on the mend.
