Categories: Lifestyle

Description:

The BRAT diet is a simple eating plan made up of bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. These foods are soft, bland, and easy to digest, which makes them gentle on the stomach and intestines after gastroenteritis. They provide some carbohydrates for energy and are low in fiber, which can help reduce diarrhea. The diet is often used temporarily while the digestive system recovers.

The BRAT diet is not specifically recommended by the Infectious Diseases Society of America, but it can provide a gentle starting point for people recovering from vomiting. Its bland foods are less likely to trigger nausea, making it helpful for patients who are hesitant to eat. However, it should be used only until patients can advance their diet to include more balanced nutrition for full recovery.
