    Best foods for empty stomach

    DD1 has been throwing up since 5am. She is her usual happy cheery self, has no temp and wants to eat and drink. I have given her some plain toast and warmish water but she threw them back up.

    Just wondering what foods would you try?

    I would stick with dry foods, dry toast maybe with a bit of jam (no butter), dry plain biscuits, saladas, rice cakes?

    We just stick with toast or dry biscuits and as they start feeling better I usually make a basic brothy soup with vegies in it for them. We give them Hydrolite icypoles as well to rehydrate when they can't keep anything including water down. Poor darling - hope she is better soon xox

    Thanks ladies. We took her to the dr and she has Gastritis (thankfully not gastroenteritis - could not handle both ends). So it is 30ml hydralite every 20 minutes for 24hours. I just know with my weak immune system I will get it too. Hopefully it spares DD2 and DH.

    Thanks again.

    I have another question for you lovely ladies if you don'e mind. DD1 is still not well, she can't keep anything we have tried to give her down even after the 24hours of no food. Everything comes back up a few hours later. She is still drinking water or hydralite so she is not dehydrated but she has zero energy now and is just sleeping. I know this is probably good as it will give her a chance to get better.

    What I would like to know is there something I can give her to (trying to think of right words but failing) kickstart her stomach again? I am thinking of something along the lines of yakult.
