Stomach Virus, Pain. What Kind Of Diet Should Be Followed?
Hello. I just got over a terrible stomach virus that hit my entire family. It came on Saturday afternoon and subsided Saturday night. Sunday was just sleeping but felt ok. Now I have been adding some easy foods like chicken rice broth applesauce and cracker...but today am having a lot of pains..I assume gas...what is the best thing for this. Should I continue to try to eat simple. Or just drink fluids. Would like to get a good night sleep without the pains

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some food poison as all family members are affected.
Now nothing to worry as you all became alright.
As you have some gastric problem and pain in abdomen which is common after infection.
Take antispasmodic like Dicyclomine for pain as and when required.
Continue having light diet like curd, rice, buttermilk, apple and lemon juices.
Take plenty of water.
Ok and take care.
