Dieting after food poisoning: Nutritionist's tips

Even the most careful people can sometimes eat spoiled food and get food poisoning - it's unpleasant, but it happens.

The main thing after food poisoning is to keep your diet healthy for a while, so you can feel better soon.

Here are some examples of food you should eat more to become healthy again.

Bland Starches

Start with bland foods like white rice, plain pasta, or plain crackers. These are easy on your stomach and provide energy.

Boiled Potatoes

Boiled or mashed potatoes without added spices or butter can be soothing and provide needed carbohydrates.

Bananas

They are gentle on the stomach and provide potassium, which helps with hydration.

Applesauce

Unsweetened applesauce is easy to digest and can help replace lost nutrients.

Toast

Plain, dry toast can be easy on your stomach.

Boiled or Scrambled Eggs

Eggs are a good source of protein, but cook them without oil or spices.

Clear Broth

Chicken or vegetable broth is hydrating and provides essential minerals.

Herbal Tea

Drink herbal teas like chamomile or ginger tea. These can soothe your stomach.

Stay Hydrated

Drink clear fluids like water, clear soups, or oral rehydration solutions to prevent dehydration.

Avoid Spicy, Greasy, and Dairy

Stay away from spicy, greasy, and dairy-rich foods as they can irritate your stomach.

Eat small, frequent meals and listen to your body. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional.
