Dietary
BRAT Diet
for Stomach Ache
Eating bland, easily digestible foods — bananas, plain rice, plain toast and apple sauce — during acute diarrhoea to reduce gut irritation.
How it works
These foods are low in fibre and fat, reducing gut motility and irritation. Bananas contain pectin which helps bulk stool. Plain starchy foods are gentle on inflamed intestinal lining.
What to watch for
Temporary measure only. Return to normal diet as soon as tolerated.
