A member asked:

Stomach flu with nausea but no vomiting or diarrhea. possible for the brat diet to prolong the problem by being too much for my stomach?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BRAT diet: The foods you’re eating during this illness shouldn’t ultimately have any bearing on the duration of the illness. Viral infections are self-limited, and foodborne illnesses generally have a predictable timeframe based on the infecting agent.
