Gastroenteritis: Yes, if he wants to get give bland food, such as bananas, rice, applesauce,toast,plain pasta, broiled/grilled chicken. Avoid dairy and juice. Drinking and staying hydrated is way more important than eating which will come around once feeling better. if not tolerating fluids and vomiting then needs to be evaluated for dehydration and possible need for Iv fluids.
