what to eat in vomiting and loose motion - #16419

Atharv

I am really worried because my kid is having a tough time right now. He started vomitting yesterday, and this morning, he had loose motion too. It’s been like a rollercoaster, and I don’t know what to eat in vomiting and loose motion that's safe for him. The doctor said to keep him hydrated, but I’m not sure what kinds of food would actually help him. He’s so small, and all he wants is his favorite snacks, but I can’t give him those right now, can I? I’ve heard that things like bananas and rice might be good when someone is sick, especially what to eat in vomiting and loose motion, but are they really safe? I’m also thinking about broth, but he doesn’t usually drink it. Should I try? Any advice on what to eat in vomiting and loose motion that could help settle his stomach? I just want him to feel better and not have to go through this. Also, how long does this usually last? I wish I could find some magic food that would make him feel better instantly! Please help, I’m feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed here.

Doctors' responses

For your child dealing with vomiting and loose motions, focusing on gentle and easily digestible foods is the right approach. You’re correct that staying hydrated is crucial, so encourage sips of clear fluids like water, oral rehydration solutions (ORS), or clear broth. These help replenish lost electrolytes and fluids. When it comes to solids, the BRAT diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast) is often recommended. These foods are bland, easy to digest, and can help firm up stools. Bananas are particularly good as they provide potassium and have a binding effect, while rice and applesauce are gentle on the stomach. Toast without butter can provide a bit of substance without being too heavy. Introducing small amounts slowly and gradually will give you an idea of what his stomach can handle.

While broth can be a good way to keep hydrated, if he’s not used to it, he might not accept much initially, but offering it warm might encourage him to drink a little. Avoid giving him his favorite snacks if they are processed or sugary, as these can aggravate his symptoms. As for how long this could last, it often depends on the underlying cause, like viral gastroenteritis, and it usually resolves within a few days. If symptoms persist beyond this or if you notice signs of dehydration such as dry mouth, decreased urination, or if he’s particularly lethargic, it’s essential to seek further medical advice promptly.
