    My Gp suggested that we try banana, rice and yoghurt - apparently the yoghurt aids the recovery of the stomach (even tho it is dairy) and banana helps the electrolyte balance after being so ill. Hope everyone is ok.

    I usually give rice cooked in stock and leave it a bit liquidy and the some jelly (or the baby fruit gels). I would also get some hydrolyte icypoles to keep in the freezer for when these things happen.

    Thanks again! I have bought some hydrolyte icypoles to keep on hand if it happens again! I made a risotto for dinner the next night and he ate a little bit but I didn't force it on him!
    He seems back to his old self today and yesterday was much better too. Doesn't seem to have a very big appetite atm so maybe it has knocked him around a bit! Am serving him up vegies tonight disguised with cheese and tomato sauce (his 2 favorite things)
    Thank goodness it didn't go thru the whole family! that would of been a nightmare!!!

    try giving him plain toast, cooked pear or apple. flat lemonade is also supposed to be good for an upset tum, good luck!
