Eating After Vomiting

If you've barfed from The Flu or other reasons, what should you eat? (These same guidelines seem to apply when you just have diarrhea.)

Avoid:

• caffeine
• carbonated drinks
• high-sodium drinks (like energy drinks)
• milk, ice cream, cheese, other dairy
• other high-fat foods: meat
• spicy or aromatic foods
• high-fiber foods: whole grain bread, tough fruit

Instead:

• water, ice chips
• decaffeinated tea, fruit ices, broth and gelatin,
• Pedia Lyte for kids (I find they hate the drink, but are fine with the ice-pops), sports drinks for adults, coconut water for either
• jello
• white carbs (rice, mashed potato), bananas - aka BRAT "bananas, rice, applesauce and toast." (no butter or other spreads on the toast)
• soup (broth, noodles) (bone broth)
