What to eat when you re throwing up?

There’s nothing worse than feeling sick to your stomach and not being able to keep any food down. So, what do you eat when everything coming up? Let us guide you through some of the best foods and drinks that can help settle your tummy.

Why It’s Important to Eat When You’re Nauseous

Before we dive into the good stuff, let’s first understand why it’s important to try and eat something when you are throwing up. Vomiting is an unpleasant side effect of various ailments such as a viral infection or motion sickness. But consuming nutritious food during this time still helps nourish the body with essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protein – strengthening its immune system in turn.

Your body loses fluids every time you vomit; these fluids should be replenished by drinking plenty of water at room temperature or clear fluids after each bout of vomiting subsides.

The trick is choosing bland yet nutritious foods that won’t upset an already vulnerable stomach; favorites like ice cream, pizza & beer aren’t really options for now!

That said,let’s jump straight into meal ideas!
