What to eat after food poisoning?

[brooker]

I was food-poisoned yesterday and my bowel and stomach are still very weird. What kind of things are good to eat during this time?

You’re going to want to drink a lot of water, I would recommend pedialyte if you don’t have much of an appetite. Vomiting and diarrhea share the same issue of using a lot of water to get shit out of your system, which can lead to dehydration. As awful as it is to endure it will go a lot faster if you just sweat it out and do not take anti-nausea or anti-diarrhea medication. Your body is expelling this for a reason, it’s unlikely you’ll die from food poisoning but keep an eye on your body just in case. Gas pain is normal, don’t brush your teeth after vomiting it just weakens the enamel. If you’re hungry and don’t want to worry about the food coming back up just remember BRAT
Bananas
Rice
Applesauce
Toast (preferably dry)
These are all foods that are pretty much impossible for your body to throw back up. Take it easy, make sure you’re hydrated and try to eat where you can.


Also, if you got food poisoning from a restaurant, you can call them and have them refund the money you spent usually.

Very bland stuff — bananas, plain boiled rice, applesauce, tea and toast. “BRATT” diet.

Lots of water and stick with broths, chicken or vegetable not beef, until you feel like it's mostly cleared your system. Then get some unsweetened, whole milk, plain yogurt and acidophilus into you. The ingredients for the yogurt should read something like this: "Milk from 100% grass-fed cows and live yogurt culture". That's it. Please read the label carefully as there's a lot of junk in the stores.

I recommend Organic Valley, Seven Stars Farms or anything you can get locally that meets the above criteria. You can add in a small amount of raw cane sugar or raw honey if you need a little sweet to get it down. When you feel you can handle more food, add in a banana or other soft fruit.

Remember that even if you start feeling a lot better, food poisoning can linger in your system for quite some time, so keep that good, fermented food coming and other easily digestible, nutritious stuff. Whenever you think you're ready to handle a pizza or burger, wait another few days!

Try to drink a lot of water to flush your system and to help get rid of that food poisoning, eat chicken noodle soup if you can , throwing up liquids is easier than throwing up solid foods. Try to eat ginger as well , Ginger usually helps with upset stomachs. I know it sucks , I had food poisoning a few times and it sucks , Hang in there

First of all, drink a lot of water. You're probably best off not eating if you're still spending most of your time stuck in the bathroom.

After you're done with that though, you might want to start with something like porridge or vegetable soup. Nothing heavy.

First off Stay hydrated!!! Electrolyte drinks, chicken or vegetable broth. Foods that are gentle on the stomach include: bananas, cereal, egg whites, honey, Jell-O, oatmeal, plain potatoes, including mashed potatoes, rice, saltines, toast, apple sauce. The BRAT diet is a good guide to follow when you have food poisoning.

Pepto-Bismol comes to mind & you might want to take a few of them. Also you are going to have to rehydrate & something with electrolytes would be perfect. As for foods start off slow & keep things on the lighter end.

At the minimum you’re going to want to drink water and just take it easy. If you’re able to get yourself to eat bread or crackers that is always good when you’re feeling ill.

[AviatorTom]

Dry toast is good, in small amounts, to help stabilize your stomach. And drink fluids, preferably water (no caffeine) to restore your hydration.

[MrExperienced]

Activated charcoal and maybe some bread to soak up bad stuff and pass it through your system.

[2_beHappy]

I heard charcoal is good at absorbing all kinds of toxic things

[82lynx]

The only time I had food poisoning, I couldn’t even think of eating.

I must agree with the others about a significant increase in fluid intake.

[worldscolide]

Lots of water, lots of liquid. Food poisoning sucks. I've had it twice. Things like Pedia lite or Gatorade, water, chicken broth. You gotta replenish your fluids.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Try soft liquid diet to you feel better -Hugs- Get Well Soon !!!

[exitseven]

drink lots of fluids. You are dehydrated. Gatorade would be good.

[Knightwatch27]

Water and blueberry cream if I remember my last time. That's about it. Anything solid will go right back up.

[Lessthanaveragr]

I personally would definitely go with med rare chicken strips. They're to die for.

[jahaims]

I would fast until I didn't feel sick then eat what I normally do. Try ginger tea or kombucha.

[gorydetails]

BRAT bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. Plus lots of liquids.

[Iron_Man]

I would call your doctor and let him tell you

[KrakenAttackin]

I would stick to soup and water for a day or so.

[Anonymous]

Try eating some dry toast and seven-up or ginger ale.

[OtterMan68]

toast, crackers, gatorade, applesauce

[Rnjura]

In my country, we drink porridge
