what do you eat, when you first start to eat again, (after severe and lengthy gastro)

[Kimbles01]

I was told carbs. So plain toast, white rice, plain potatoes. Not too exciting, but better than water crackers!

I usually try to rehydrate with powerade too.

Oh you poor thing, it soumds awful.

And believe it or not, I just ate some supermarket cooked chook straight outa the microwave

Can you try some toast with Vegimite

Chicken noodle soup (remove the noodles)

Cooked rice with soy sauce for flavour

After suffering with vomiting from MS for the past 6 weeks - I sorta know how you feel - so I would open the cupboard and see if there was anything that took my fancy and try it ??

I mashed pumpkin and potatoe and kept that down

Even Icy Poles to have a pleasant taste in your mouth helps

[Traveller]

I would go with some clear soup, chicken noodle as suggested above or similar. Sweet biscuits are a favourite of mine after a period of gastro, a chocolate chip cookie can do wonders without upsetting your stomach.

[Olive]

For me the one thing I need after gastro are red rooster chips! Must be a combo of carbs and salt

[Mother Goose]

banana's are great - helps bind you up and a great energy source.

otherwise toast.

soup

you could try some boiled rice (plain)

Be careful with powerade/gatorade/myzone drinks as they can actually cause the runs.
