First foods after sicky bug?

DD1 has been throwing up since Friday and eaten almost nothing in that time. She is much better today and (touch wood) seems to be over the bug but I'm not sure what's best to get her eating again. So far today she's had nearly a whole piece of dry bread and a bit of biscuit. Any ideas for something a bit more substantial? i believe its a good idea to avoid dairy, is this right?

Anything bland really. Toast with marmite, Ricecakes, ham sandwich,

I usually give dd a bit of toast or some mashed potato.

Yes avoid dairy for at least three days after she last was sick. My ds2 was sick on Saturday night and today I gave him a fishfinger and a boiled potato and some peas for lunch. Potato, rice, plain stuff like that is best. Jelly is also a possibility. Cereal without milk.

Yes, they can be a bit dairy intolerant to begin with, as sometimes the lining of the gut takes a bit of grief from the bug.
Boiled egg and marmite soldiers, plain pasta with a bit of ketchup, apple puree?

Ta for ideas. BRAT diet is really useful way to remember!

The BRAT diet is the ideal. Avoid fat, dairy, anything complicated or hard to digest. I'd say bananas are the best of the lot, as they're really high calorie, and (god forbid) if they have to come back up again, at least they're not scratchy.

Apple juice also helps.
