A member asked:

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 ?

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.

Yes: If you are not vomiting you do not need to change your diet. So if you are only having diarrhea, then you can eat and drink like usual, however a lot of fruits or any fruit juice might make your diarrhea worse.

Sure: The brat diet will hopefully be less irritating to your already inflamed and irritated stomach, and is truly why it is recommended. The antibx will not effect your brat diet.
