DS has dodgy tummy - wants toast and peanut butter - he shouldn't should he?

[Buda]

Was called to school to pick him up as he had tummy ache. Has very runny diarrohea (sp??) now but wants peanut butter on toast.

I said he shouldn't but he said to ask Mumsnet!

Toast is good.

Isn't advice now not to restrict diet?

I'ld let him - I reckon in this situation you crave what your body needs iyswim.

I'm with TC.

Agree with Chaos and do that with my dd. The worst that can happen is he'll bring it back. But if he wants it, go ahead.

I would.

When mine are poorly I let them choose when and how much to eat, unless vomitting was very recent.

Thanks all. Just looked on Wikipedia and the advise was not to do the BRAT diet. So we'll give it a go!

Agree with everyone else.

No problem there. I wouldn't put butter on it too (or is it only me that does that?)

ha ha at him telling you to ask mumsnet, bless him.

hope he feels better soon.

Well it's done and so far so good.

TDWP - I know! He was sitting on the loo and told me what he wanted. I said I would check. He said 'go and check on-line' and then he said 'ask on Mumsnet'!!!!! (Do I spend too much time on here I wonder?

Oh and georgiemum - I usually put butter on too. Didn't this time though.

But peanut butter is butter

I know! Mind you my Aussie friend calls it peanut paste and she puts butter on too.

I'm feeling hungry!!

Oh no no
The proper way to have peanut butter toast is to puts loads of real butter on it, then a skiff of peanut butter on top.

It goes without saying that the toast must be toasted a medium color - not too light, and def not dark.

No peanut butter is not butter ... it is peanuts. If you get decent stuff, it just has peanuts in it.

Agree purpleduck - and washed down with a nice hot strong cup of tea!
