When your sniffles and scratchy throat turn into a full-blown bodily fluid extravaganza, one things for sure: Feeling sick sucks.

But you know the drill. Drink plenty of fluids . Add ginger to the menu when nausea strikes . Get as many nutrients into your body as you can, even if theyre only in liquid form at first. And once you finally work your way back to solid foods again, make sure theyre not processed or sugary. Easy peasy, right?

Well, not so much. There are some otherwise healthy foods that have a reputation for making an already sick person feel worse because they exacerbate or prolong symptoms in some way.

Which healthy foods are the biggest offenders, and what should you eat instead? Read on to find out, but keep one caveat in mind: Everyone reacts to foods differently, even when sick.

If theres a food (or several) that made this list, yet dont bother you when youre sick, then listen to your body and keep enjoying them.
