stomach infection diet - #20910

Myra

I am a bit overwhelmed because I’ve been dealing with a stomach infection for what feels like forever. It started with intense cramps and then I got hit with some nasty nausea, which is the worst. I went to the doctor and apparently, it’s a stomach infection—but they didn't really explain what that entailed. Now, I'm wondering about the whole stomach infection diet thing because I keep hearing different advice from friends and family. Some say stick to bland foods like rice or bananas, while others are like “No, you can have yogurt to help your gut!” I honestly don’t know who to believe. I tried plain toast and it felt fine for a hot minute, but when I had some chicken broth, things didn’t go so well. Should I be avoiding dairy completely or is some yogurt okay? And how about fruits and veggies? Should I just ignore all the fiber for now? I'm super confused about whether I can have any sort of flavor, or even if spices can make things worse—like, what’s the deal with that? I really want to get better and I’m nervous about making the wrong choices with this stomach infection diet. How do I figure out what I can eat without making things worse? Please help!
