BRAT- Bananas, Rice, Apples, and Toast are all very bland foods that help to slow down your intestines after being sick (because diarrhea seems to linger much longer than the vomit).Saltine crackers and 7-up can help, and if you would like to substitute the 7-up with something else, Gatorade can really help, too. Do not eat or drink dairy products immediately after a bug (other than yogurt- the cultures help improve the condition of your stomach). Staying away from fruits beginning with P is also a good rule of thumb. After passing a solid stool, gradually reintroduce other foods.

∙ 15y agoTHERE ARE MANY TYPES OF 'FLU' AND THE TYPE OF FLU YOU HAVE WILL DETERMINE WHAT YOUR DIETARY NEEDS WILL BE AFTERWARDS. IF IT IS THE COMMON RESPIRATORY FLU, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO RESUME A NORMAL DIET AFTERWARDS, HOWEVER, IF IT IS A STOMACH FLU, THERE MAY BE SOME LIMITATIONS IN YOUR DIET FOR A FEW DAYS.

∙ 12y agoIf you are talking about influenza, the respiratory infection, eat whatever you feel like eating. Listen to your appetite. If you are referring to gastroenteritis that is commonly called the "stomach flu", then you should start with clear liquids and gradually advance to thicker liquids and if that is tolerated, then start some bland solid foods until you feel ready to eat your normal diet.

∙ 13y agoSimple. Just AVOID food containing dairy products, i.e. milk, yoghurt, eggs etc. Dairy products feed the flu bug residing in your stomach.
You would do well taking something simple like porridge or oats before moving back to your regular diet.
TAKE warm fluids as well as 100 plus. 100 plus is good to replenish fluids (lost through vomiting or diarrhea) and electrolytes.
Tip: You could leave the cap of the 100 plus unscrewed so that it would not be so gassy, since you are probably feeling bloated which would make you queasy and unable to hold your food down.
