What food to eat after vomiting?

My younger brother keeps vomiting since yesterday evening, probably some bad street food. He's feeling very weak now. What kind of light food can I give him to help him recover?

Beta, after vomiting, your पेट is upset. Don't eat anything heavy. Just plain rice with a little dahi, or thin khichdi. Some plain toast with light butter is also good. And lots of warm water to stay hydrated.

My mother always said to have a little bit of curd rice or kanji (rice gruel) after vomiting, very lightly seasoned. It's gentle on the stomach. But if it's too much, best to consult doctor. They know best.

When you're recovering from vomiting, your body is weak. You need gentle, nourishing foods. Think light, easily digestible items like clear soups, plain rice, or boiled veggies. Always keep your doctor informed, especially if you have other conditions like thyroid, as medication absorption can be affected.

Ugh, vomiting is the worst! My cravings usually go out the window then. But honestly, plain toast, some bland khichdi, or just a banana is all my stomach can handle. Definitely no biryani or butter chicken for a while! 🤢

Bhai, after vomiting, your stomach is delicate. Don't eat anything heavy or oily. Stick to plain daal chawal, curd rice, or just toast. Drink ORS or nimbu pani for energy. And if it doesn't stop, go to the doctor, don't mess around.

After vomiting, the priority is rehydration and introducing bland, easily digestible foods gradually. The BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) is often recommended. However, if vomiting is severe or persistent, it's crucial to consult a doctor to rule out underlying issues and get specific medical advice.

Hydration is key post-vomiting, so electrolytes are important. For food, start with bland, low-fiber options. I'd track my water intake and start with simple things like idli, plain rice, or boiled potatoes. Avoid anything spicy or fatty that might upset the stomach again.
