A member asked:
If i have the stomach flu, can i eat ritz crackers instead of saltine crackers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can: You can, but Ritz crackers have considerably more fat content than saltines so are a little less gentle on an irritated stomach and bowel. Rule of thumb: if it makes your nauseous or hurts your stomach, stop eating it and try again when you're feeling a bit better. If it doesn't cause pain or nausea, then you're good.
