Recovering From an Upset Stomach? Eat (And Avoid) These Foods
I don't know about you, but having the stomach flu is one of the worst tasteless "sicknesses" I can think of. Whether you are paying tribute to the earthenware god from one end or the other (or both), a stomach flu bug or a bout of food poisoning is sufficient to make you never want to eat again ... Ever. Luckily there are some foods to get you on the way to your old self in no time. Keep reading for the foods to eat (and the ones to avoid) when recovering from a stomach bug.
1. Peppermint

If you have an upset stomach, peppermint tea will help ease your nausea and can also quell your upset stomach. The peppermint you choose should not be too sugary and is best consumed in a tea form. Peppermint tea is one of the most soothing foods for an upset stomach and will calm your nausea in no time. Peppermint tea is also ideal for women who are suffering from morning sickness as it does not have any negative side effects but is very effective for squashing nausea.
2. Ginger
Another food that is excellent for your digestive theory and can quell nausea is ginger. Ginger is also loaded with antioxidants and is good for your whole body. You can eat ginger raw or you can also use it in meals. If you are suffering from nausea, you can drink ginger tea as this, like peppermint tea, can keep you from getting sick.
3. Rice
Rice is easy on your theory and is an ideal food for someone who is getting back into eating solid foods after being sick. Rice is filling but is also a light meal and is easy to digest. Rice can be made with chicken broth as a remedy for curing a cold and as a simple way to get some bland food into your stomach.
4. Crackers
Eating crackers is another way that you can help ease your way back into solid foods if you have been sick and have not been on solid foods for some time. Crackers are often recommended for pregnant women who perceive morning sickness. Just make sure you choose crackers that are low in sodium and free of unhealthy fats.
5. Bananas
Bananas are easy to Ant. Eject and are often one of the first foods given to babies (who naturally by their young nature have sensitive stomachs). Like rice, bananas are filling without upsetting your stomach. Bananas are also one of the best foods for an upset stomach as they are not heavy, but do supply you with needed nutrients that you may have lost when sick (such as potassium).
When you have an upset stomach, you will want to avoid these foods:
1. Dairy
Eating dairy after an upset stomach may seem like a way to calm down the stomach, but regularly produces an opposite effect. Cheese is very binding and may cause constipation, while milk may cause (or worsen) diarrhea.
2. Caffeine
Caffeine (such as that contained in drinks like coffee or tea, or in chocolate) is hard on your stomach to begin with, so you for sure don't want to jump right into these drinks/food when recovering from a troubled tummy. Once you're back on your feet you can go back to your morning cup of java or give in to your chocolate cravings. Until then - hold off.
3. Spicy Foods
Much like caffeine, spicy foods can wreak havoc on your stomach in a general situation, much less when you're already sick. If you're a fan of Mexican, Italian, Asian, or Indian fare, you should by all means; of course stay away for at least a few days. You'll enjoy those foods much more when you're back to your wholesome self!
4. Nuts
Nuts are hard to Ant. Eject for certain habitancy and although they are good for you, they can disturb your digestive tract even more if it is already in distress. Stay away from nuts when you are suffering from a stomach bug.
5. Tomatoes
The lycopene in tomatoes is a gigantic nutrient that you should be getting on a regular basis, but the acidity in this fruit can aggravate an already upset tum. Save your tomatoes and tomato-based foods for when you're fully recovered!
Don't let the stomach flu (or food poisoning, or morning sickness) get you down! By getting the "good" foods and avoiding the "bad" you can recover safely and speedily (and with fewer trips to the bathroom).
