This inflammation, also known as gastroenteritis, can be caused by viruses, contaminated food, medications or exposure to unfamiliar bacteria during travel. You can treat symptoms through diet. The following regime offers guidelines to follow. Avoid eating or drinking during the initial six hours after vomiting has stopped. Try sucking on hard candy, taking sips of ice chips or posicles if you feel thirsty.
Fluids stay down better when taken in frequent sips.
If you are feeling better and vomiting or diarrhea have not returned, you can add bland solid foods. Any time the vomiting or diarrhea return, start the diet over from the beginning and continue day by day, depending upon your symptoms. Home Page Maintained by Bill Bird .
