Started Puking my guts out this AM. No one else is sick from Thanksgiving Diner, so I don't think it is food poisoning.
I hardly ever get upset stomach/puking so my question is this: What do you guys start eating when you think you can keep something down? I imagine the plainer the better... I also know that meat ships, Krispy Kreme handburgers, etc. or not good ideas. Thanks, Fidel |

7 up or classic coke helps when you sip on it. staying hydrated is the priority, you dont need to eat for a few days.
if you feel up to food, try a mild "safe" food, something that you eat regularly, now is not the time to shock your system. the last time I got food poisoning I couldnt even keep down bread, but goddamn mcnuggets stayed down. so ymmv. hope you feel better. |

Start with clear liquids (liquids you can see thru), then adavance to full liquid, then finally to solids.
Don't rush it or you'll be back to square one. The stomach needs to rest, and you need to stay hydrated. Puking won't dehydrate you like diarrhea will, so let your stomach rest a bit. Ice chips... |

Does it present these symptoms:

Quoted:
Just drink a lot of water. If you're even a few pounds overweight, not eating for a day or two won't hurt you anyway. +1 Just hydrate yourself, your body will not want food for a couple of days, you'll know when it's time to eat. Peanut Butter on Ritz Crackers will get you on your feet again.

BRAT Diet
The BRAT diet is a historically prescribed treatment for patients with various forms of gastrointestinal distress such as diarrhea, dyspepsia, and/or gastroenteritis. The BRAT diet consists of foods that are relatively bland, easy to digest, and low in fiber. Low-fiber foods are recommended because foods high in fiber may cause gas, possibly worsening the gastrointestinal upset.[1] Current recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics state that for most children continuing a normal, age appropriate diet is preferred. The foods from the BRAT diet may be added, but should not replace normal, tolerated foods. Sugary drinks and carbonated beverages should be avoided.
A well-balanced diet is best even during diarrhea, but studies have found that incorporating foods from the BRAT diet can reduce the severity of diarrhea (see Contrary medical advice). Applesauce provides pectin,[2] as does toast with grape jelly. The BRAT diet should include additional protein supplements such as tofu or protein pills. BRAT is the mnemonic acronym for Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast, the staples of the diet.[1] Extensions to the BRAT diet include BRATT (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast, and Tea) and BRATY (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast, and Yogurt). I feel your pain. I got hit with a stomach virus on Wednesday and missed out on the turkey day festivities.
