Be still my heart!

I am making chicken stock from chicken feet, heads, backs and necks with soup veggies and fresh herbs for friends who have been really sick with a horrible flu. All 4 of them - parents and 2 kids. The illness seemed to go from high fever, sore throat, through stomach upset, diarrhea, 0 appetite etc.

I wanted to make them soup this week, but feeling as bad as I have shopping was the last thing on my mind.

The smell of the chicken soup is driving me nuts! I want to dive into it. I have not had chicken soup since I got the results from enterolab, and no poultry since the turkey soup and duck seemed to upset me.
How can a Jewish grandmother get well without chicken soup for the soul?

Dear Lesley,

You'll have to be the Jewish grandmother who has chicken soup only for her soul, not for her stomach!

Love,
Martha

The description of your soup is making my mouth water.

Are you able to eat bananas? I thought of you this morning when I got one of those emails extoling the use of bananas. I don't know if it's true...... but one of the things said it had antacid properties. Have no idea if it would work though.

Love, Shirley

Yeah Martha, and since I cannot get over this flare in my soul it will stay.

Shirley - bananas give me the worst attacks of GERD. I wish I could eat them.

I think I am going to have to go all the way back to nothing but meat (beef and lamb) and potatoes, and baked apples. Maybe that will help me get under control.
