Easily Digestible Protein

Getting enough protein is important whether you are sick or healthy, because it strengthens your body. Since your stomach may not be up for digesting a steak, and you probably don't have the energy to cook an elaborate meal, choose easily digestible proteins that take little or no time to prepare such as eggs, tofu, or chicken.

Good info. I was always told to avoid dairy because it made congestion worse. Glad to hear I can eat yummy pro-biotic Greek yogurt while I have a bug.
