Diet when you have a stomach bug?

[MissSunshine]

Hi all
I have a horrid stomach bug that I have picked up from my son that he caught from Nursery.
I have Diarrhea but no sickness, although I feel very sick.

I know your meant to go without food untill its over but i just cant.

If I skip one meal I have really bad anxiety and my IBS plays up so bad!
yet I dont want to eat anything that will hurt my tummy :(

how do you cope when you have a stomach bug? anything I can buy? really dont want to starve myself!

The BRAT diet Banana's, Rice (plain), Applesauce and Toast (dry). also plenty of fluids, water and fruit teas.

I was going to write more or less the same. Rice, toast and plenty of fluids. No fat!
