What to eat after stomach flu?

VAannie

I'm finally feeling nearly 100% after the stomach flu, but I'm at a loss about what to eat today. ?I don't want to upset my stomach again, but I know I need to eat as normally as possible. ?Any ideas? ?I stuck to chicken noodle soup/crackers/toast/scrambled egg/popsicles yesterday.?

I know in another day or so, my stomach should be able to handle "normal" foods again. ?I just need a few gentle ideas for today! ?Thanks!?

I would just avoid things that are hard to break down like dairy.

what about peanut butter toast. or a PB and banana sandwich, good protein.?

Stick with the BRAT diet...bananas, rice, apples, toast. It's what is recommended to alot of people who have a hard time breaking down certain foods, just build your way up after that.

I agree, the BRAT diet was recommended to DH after a visit to the ER for the stomach flu.

I think I'm past the BRAT stage...?

The BRAT diet and clear fluids, but nothing too acidic, over-processed  and no dairy.

I had the same question as you a few days ago.  Day 1 of recovery I stuck to Saltines and Chicken Noodle Soup.  Day 2 I had Malt-O-Meal for breakfast and a baked potato with ranch dressing for dinner.

I hope you're back to feeling good soon!
