Stomach Flu: With vial gastroenteritis gradually begin to eat bland, easy-to-digest foods, such as soda crackers, toast, gelatin, bananas, rice and chicken. Stop eating if your nausea returns. Avoid certain foods including dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and fatty or highly seasoned foods until you feel up to it.

Best to avoid it: It will not do any damage to you to drink milk but it can make your diarrhea worse. Some people have a condition called lactose intolerance that causes stomach cramping and diarrhea. If this happens to you often then there are lactase tablets you can buy to take when you drink milk or eat dairy products.
