    Avoid dairy, except for small amounts of yoghurt, because you can develop an intolerance to it when your gut is inflamed.

    Maybe try to get a bit of protein along with the starchy carbs, like an egg. Also a bit of vegemite toast will put roses in ya cheeks again.

    hope you're feeling better soon. It sounds like it was a shocker

    jelly fruits were what I had a lot of when getting over my gastro as well as toast and vegemite...boring but it's best to take it slow whilE your stomach heals.

    I'd probably steer clear of the sultanas, tbh mate. You want to stay away from really fibrous stuff. I was always told if it's white it's probably alright! So like others have said, carbs are the go. Rice, potato, white bread, bananas, chicken. Hope you are doing much better soon.
