YES: Always and especially during illness, encourage healthy diet rich in vitamins and complex carbs. If stomach sx, avoid acidic, spicy and high fat. If diarrhea, esp avoid high sugar fluids. Optimize calorie intake rather than being restrictive- low calorie diet can prolong some symptoms. Frozen bananas excellent during febrile illness.
