Accepted Answer

BRAT: Bananas , rice, applesauce, toast.

Question 2

10m baby w mild diarhea can i give him fried food with oil or i should avoid fat?apart from brat diet what else i can give & what to avoid

Accepted Answer

Mild diarrhea: As long as the diarrhea is "mild" continue to feed his regular diet. You may want to add 1-2 oz of extra water to account for any losses of fluid. If the diarrhea is worse or contains blood, or if it associated with vomiting, fever or pain see his doctor. BRAT diets may lead to increased diarrhea but are often appropriate for vomiting.

Question 3

how long should one stay on the brat diet after food poisoning? when can one return to a normal diet?

Accepted Answer

BRAT diet: As soon as any vomiting stops, it is safe to progress your diet. Apple sauce may actually increase diarrhea. A good reference is the American Academy of Pediatrics heathy kids.org. All the best.

Question 4

2nd day brat diet after severe gastroenteritis requiring er iv fluids, no food at all for 2 days. anything else ican eat?

Accepted Answer

GE: You can probably advance to solid food that is not fried. Boiled, broiled or baked with limited fat contents. You may want to avoid lactose containing food since transient deficiency in the enzyme that breaks down lactose can occur. You may get alternative point of view from other physicians

Question 5

is tutti frutti frozen yogurt okay after 24 hours of food poisining !? i don't wanna eat brat diet i'm kind of paranoid i might get sick again

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is  best to avoid most dairy for awhile after food poisoning as you may temporarily not be able to digest lactose but yogurt has little lactose so should be ok. I don't advise the brat diet (best to avoid gluten for awhile too) but rice and other fruits ; veggies should be ok (though cooked veggies will be easier to digest now than raw veggies).

Question 6

got food poisining 24 hours ago can i start the brat diet already ? i'm starving & i just ate a banana .

Accepted Answer

Yes but avoid toast: Please see my other answer. I advise avoiding toast. Rice, apples, bananas ; other fruits an veggies should all be fine to eat.

Question 7

just coming off the brat diet & now i'm experiencing constipation instead of diarrhea. what natural food or liquid can i take for quick relief?

Accepted Answer

The Brat's Revenge: Why don't you chill on that. Let your poor G.I. tract readjust and normalize.Unless you're so stopped-up your ears are pulsating, just eat a normal diet with plenty of liquids and fiber and see what happens over the next few days.Prune or other thick concentrated fruit juices(apricot,pear)work for some people.Metamucil might get the gut going but don't stress over it, that'll just make it worse

Question 8

just got over food poisoning two days ago. i had black powdery diahharia yesterday, today's is watery yellow diahharia. following the brat diet.

Accepted Answer

Recovering: Give it time, continue BRAT diet and push fluids, if any problem, consult your doctor, wish you well

Question 9

got an infection in my intenstines due to food poisining , doctor gave me antabiotics can i still do the brat diet even with the infection ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The brat  diet is useful because it consists of foods that are tolerated best by your infected and inflamed intestines until the antibiotic has a chance to help rid the infection.

Question 10

what is a  brat diet?

Accepted Answer

BRAT diet is...: Bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast.  It was originally proposed as a treatment for diarrhea, since these are binding foods;  problem is, it doesn't work.  It is, however, made up of all bland foods that are easy to digest; so I use it with someone who is getting over a stomach virus and still has a sensitive stomach.  Add plain mashed potato and (not fried, no skin) white chicken to that list.
