BRAT diet

in 2nd Trimester

So my Dr put me on this BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce and toast) diet because I am still throwing up like 3 times a day and taking zofran and nothing is helping.  I was just wondering has this helped anyone else?   This is only my second day doing it and I don't see any difference at all yet because I ate half a banana about an hour ago, and just recycled it to my toilet....Im a little concearned because the only thing I keep down is water and popcicles but my Dr said as long as those are staying down, I'm fine....

    When my daughter has had a stomach bug, she has had to be on the BRAT diet, but only AFTER the vomiting stops.  I wouldn't think that diet would actually help with the vomiting.

    I hope you feel better soon!

    i was put on this for diarrhea...it never really helped. its basically just foods that are easier to digest - i dont think it would help stop the vomitting.

    I thought the point of eating those things was to bind you up.  I didn't think it had to do with vomitting.   I do hope that you find something that helps soon it sounds like you are having a rough time.

    when I was really sick they put me on it, and it didn't work. I couldn't even keep water down though. I ended up getting a TPN/PICC line...which is just an IV Feeding tube. stopped my vomiting though.
