“Rebooting” stomach *warning tmi*

[Soubriquet]

I’ve been quite ill for the last 3 weeks which means I haven’t eaten anything. I’m now starting to want to eat again which is great, except half an hour after finishing food, I immediately have to go to the toilet and have explosive diarrhoea.

How can I reboot my stomach, so to speak

That sounds horrible! My mum used to suggest starting with dry toast when I'd been ill, could you try that?

Hope you feel better soon

Are you taking a good probiotic?

Probiotics, definitely.

After I had been in hospital for a week, on a liquid diet and having all sorts of miserable tests, it was recommended that I eat plain yoghurt.

Probiotics
Plain rice with some salt on

Porridge is your friend here, or soup.

I would try dry toast, plain salted crisps, boiled rice, trees apple, cooked chicken breast. Literally a spoonful at a time.

You need probiotics and a bland diet. You won’t have to do it forever and it really is bland!
