Are eggs ok to eat after vomiting?
My son vomited last night, and this morning he's feeling a bit better and asking for breakfast. I usually give him boiled eggs. Is it okay for him to eat eggs after vomiting, or should I stick to something lighter?

It is completely normal to feel anxious about what to eat when your stomach is upset. I used to worry that eating nothing would make me weak, but eating eggs too soon after vomiting made me feel worse. Let your stomach rest first.

I know how exhausting and horrible it feels after vomiting, your whole stomach feels weak and sore. Honestly, eggs can be very heavy and might trigger nausea again. It's better to stick to very light things like rice water or toast first.

Better to avoid eggs immediately after vomiting as they are high in fat and can irritate your stomach. Stick to simple liquids or coconut water for now.

Skip the eggs for today, they are hard to digest when your stomach lining is irritated. Just sip on some electrolyte water and rest. Once you feel better tomorrow, maybe try a slow walk to get your digestion back on track.

Don't rush to eat solid food like eggs right after vomiting. You need to focus on hydration first. Have some ORS or light black tea, and give your stomach at least 4-6 hours of rest before trying any solid food.
