What is good to eat after vomiting?

My husband just had a bad bout of food poisoning and is finally starting to feel a little better, but he's still very weak and can't eat much. What is good to eat after vomiting that is light and easy on the stomach?

I can only share what usually works for me after vomiting. I typically stick to very bland foods like plain idli, simple khichdi, or just plain rice with a little curd. No spices, no oil, nothing heavy at all. It usually helps settle my stomach without upsetting it again.

Oh, after vomiting, I always get super anxious about eating anything, afraid it'll come back up! So I try to stick to super simple things. Maybe a little bit of plain toast or a few sips of clear soup. It's better to start extremely small and bland, right? Just to make sure your stomach is ready.

After vomiting, your stomach needs time to recover. Start with very bland, easy-to-digest foods in small quantities. Think plain rice, khichdi, thin vegetable soup, or toast. Avoid anything spicy, oily, acidic, or high in fiber initially. Gradually introduce more foods as you feel better. Hydration is key too, small sips of water.

Ugh, after vomiting, literally the last thing I want is food, but you gotta eat something eventually. My go-to is plain bread toast or just some plain boiled rice with a bit of salt. No butter, no spices, just super boring stuff. And small portions, like really small. Too much just makes me feel sick again.

I was just looking this up because my little cousin had a stomach bug. What I found is that the BRAT diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast) is often recommended. It's all bland and easy to digest. Also, lots of fluids are important, but not too much at once.

Ulti ke baad, pet ko araam do. Zyada mirch-masala mat khaana. Thodi si khichdi ya dalia, woh bhi bina tel ke. Ya phir ekdum plain tost. Thoda thoda khao, ek saath pura pet mat bharo. Agar phir bhi ulta lag raha hai toh mat khao, doctor ko dikhao.
