[blparent] solids after digestive trouble

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IS)]

When my daughter had the stomach bug from hell, we were told explicitly
to stay away from juice and milk until she'd stopped vomiting. 
If she's keeping juice down, I'd let her have it though I wouldn't push
juice unless you've been told to do so.

The brat diet was what was suggested to me.  This is rice, apple sauce,
bread/toast or rice, all very bland.  Crackers work too.  The main thing
is to get her to drink like you have done, so honestly, I'd be mostly
concerned with having her drink a lot of water/juice without too much
sugar and introduce those foods slowly and within a day, she'll very
likely will be just fine again.  It is amazing how sick kids can get but
once they start recovering, they often recover very quickly.  Good luck,
I hope the poor thing feels better soon :)

Hi.  Sarah had her one year vaccinations on Friday.  She'd done well
with the previous shots, but this time she ran a fever, then started
having diarrhea and vomiting.  She's been miserable all weekend.  The
doctor's office speculates that she has a tummy bug and that her
sickness has nothing to do with the vaccinations.  I'm not sure I
believe that, but it's neither here nor there, I guess.  I was worried
that Sarah would get dehydrated, so her dad and I forced her to drink a
few ounces of a hydration liquid last night.  Finally, she's taken two
bottles today and kept them down.  So my next question is, what solid
foods would be best to try with her now?  I don't want her to start
vomiting again.  She'd never gotten sick like that before, poor thing,
and I have to say it was a bit of a shock how much one little baby could
spurt out!  It's been stressful and exhausting for all of us, and I'd
like to know how best to put it behind us as far as eating goes.

Thanks,
Jo Elizabeth
