Yeah, I had food poisoning and my doctor also told me to stay on the Brat diet.

Smecta is brilliant...

There's a poem thing on it too... Its got to do with giving the following foods: bread or toast, porridge, rice, potatoes, plain biscuits, yoghurt, milk pudding...

oh, and whilst I haven't used it yet, Pegasus makes a homeopathic remedy called NVD (nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea which is apparently brilliant.

Gastro - Smecta is always recommended (even by the paeds in hospital) but near impossible to get into a child as it's VILE.
I tend to stay away from all foods. Offer a little bit of bone broth or chicken soup (almost always refused). Lots of fluids - water, rehydration solution, diluted apple juice, sometimes energade. When starting to feel better then grated apple that's been left to go slightly brown. Maybe marie biscuits.

I always pester Hasie on whatsapp with what to use for certain conditions. I thought it would be nice to share here what you use if you go the conventional way (antibiotics etc) and the homeopathic way. Then moms can come and see what options they have. (Not that we recommend any, they'd still have to check with their healthcare provider).

Maybe start a new topic with the new "condition".

Anyway, what do you give for gastro?

I give smecta (Hasie's recommendation), then there's a homeopathic remedy for digestive problems, but I cannot remember the name and don't have the bottle, lots of rehydrate, coke (I know!) and white bread toast with very fine biltong.
