Bland but useful foods useful in calming my stomach during my extended recovery

Eating heaven and life saving (for me) is eating a very ripe mango at first in very small bites. Then in order to give my body something to actually live on a few grains of Brown rice every hour. It's quote possible that papayas might be like this too but my wife who arrived today hasn't found any locally. Yes. When my wife finally arrived to take care of me and I heard my son (who has a BS in Nursing) telling her how to care for me better my body just involuntarily sobbed from my now very long near death experience.

He also said likely it would take me 3 months or more on a bland diet before I could ever eat normal food again. So, very very slowly I'm experimenting with what I can eat little bits of and still keep down. Because throwing anything up is way too taxing energy wise with no normal meals since now a week ago today.

What I have kept down would likely be like this in one week: 2 small cups of plain kefir (for protein and calcium), 1 1/2 small mangos one tiny bite at a time sometimes mixed with plain kefir (usually 5 to 10 grains of organic brown rice every hour while I tend to be awake and not asleep or dozing).

However, surprisingly this has been enough to sort of sustain me without having to go back into the hospital to the emergency room yet. Also, Pedialyte to balance my electrolytes just like Saliam IV packs in the emergency room can and did keep me alive through last Friday night.

And most important of course, good water so I can stay properly hydrated so I don't have to go back to the emergency room again for dehydration either.

I also met a young man in the group of hotel employees who brought in a carpet washer to scrub the carpets who told me he had almost died from food poisoning 1 year ago. He said he had been in the hospital and almost died for 3 days. I asked him how long his recovery had been:

He said, "About 1 1/2 weeks". However, I'm almost 67 and he was by the look of him barely 20. So, likely because of this my recovery might take a bit longer.

Later:

During the night I had a clearer moment when I could remember more (remember I haven't had even one normal meal in 7 days).

I also had two bites of a yellow apple, 2 bites of gluten free oatmeal, 1 partial Gerber baby food hand squirter of berry and apple I think it was too. Yes. and Yesterday my son told me to eat jello cups for the calcium and their soothing nature on the intestines. He's the one that is a trained nurse with a BS in Nursing.  I have presently consumed 1/10 of the 2nd one that is now in our hotel room mini-fridge.

Later still:

Another interesting thing is when scientists now predict someone living to 142 it will be on a near starvation (hopefully not as extreme as this one) type of diet. The thing they realized is that if people didn't eat much food and constantly burden the digestive system that living to 142 might be possible for some of the children born today.

This was proven with Mice who are mammals and very similar to us biologically in regard to what makes us age and grow old.

A Baby born now could live to age 142?
