Are there any home remedies for food poisoning?

Hygiene and Hydrate: Hand washing for 30 seconds with warm water and soap after using the bathroom. Drink plenty of fluids. Pedialyte, gatorade or powerade can be helpful (although very sugary drinks can make diarrhea worse, the electrolytes are helpful with GI losses). Time, patience and nature is usually best. The brat diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) is low in insoluble fiber and easy to digest.
