What can I eat post food poisoning to settle stomach?

Had what I assume was food poisoning on Sun night/Mon - quite extreme.

Felt better on Tues in myself but need to get stomach lining back to normal. Every time I digress from bananas/toast it starts up again. What else can I eat (trying to stick to BRAT diet of banana, rice, apple and toast but struggling now. Is chicken OK for example? I think I am meant to be avoiding dairy and fat).

Get some probiotics in the form of capsules to put the good bacteria back in tummy.

Little bits of chicken chopped up with plain rice.
This is my standard meal for poorly cats and it works ok on humans too Smile

Thank you. I'll do both those things. I've lost big chunks of three of the last five night's sleep through it and am sooo tired.

Maybe some grilled white fish with rice or plain mashed potato? Crackers to nibble on.

Have you got some rehydration sachets? Might give you a bit more energy too.

It's 'BRAT' isn't it? Bread, Rice, apple and toast.

Full sugar coke is good too.

Food poisoning does not usually get out of your system that quickly though. I was ill for over a month when I had it.

My post food poisoning diet tends to be rice, tinned tomatoes and natural yoghurt or baked beans and rice.

Full fat coke - but flat ( or flat full sugar fanta works as well)

During food poisoning - salted crackers/ full fat coke and water.

Survived endless parasites/ E. coli and salmonella on this.

BuzzardBird I'm not sure what it is. I just know that whatever I had in my body, my body wanted out of it (tmi, sorry). I felt ill on Sunday night and Monday, a bit groggy on Tuesday morning that panadol sorted out, and absolutely fine since, bar problems in the night. I tend to avoid eating all day as I need to take the children out then I guess everything gets aggravated later. We'd been camping and left clean saucepans out overnight and I wonder if an animal had licked them or something as the food we ate was well cooked.

Bookish - tinned tomatoes or flat coke on their own would make me throw up whether I was ill or not! Could cope with the rest of it though.

Bella had potatoes today - OK so far.

When DD had a nasty norovirus our gp suggested fruit flavour ice lollies. Not very healthy but the get sugar and fluid in to your body and because you eat them slowly you are less likely to bring it back up. It really did help with DD

Thanks Nancy. I'm not at the bringing anything up stage now - I am absolutely fine apart from night time shenanigans.
