Over the years people have used it to support the treatment of stomach illnesses like stomach flu and diarrhoea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In both adults and children this way of eating is gentle on the stomach and can help to clear up an upset stomach quickly. The BRAT diet is also easy to digest and can help provide you some nutrients and energy when you are not feeling well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have diarrhoea, the BRAT diet can help to solidify your stool as it contains binding foods like bananas and rice. This can help slow down the movement of stool through your intestine and make it less watery. The BRAT diet can also help to ease nausea and vomiting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that the BRAT diet should not be used as a long-term solution for stomach problems. If you have persistent diarrhoea or vomiting, it is important to see a doctor as you may be dehydrated or have another underlying condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are risks associated with this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/betterme-individual-meal-plan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">meal plan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The risks arise from it being deficient in calories and nutrients\u2014 it is specifically low in fat and protein.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is just one of the reasons why doctors recommend the BRAT diet for short-term use only. <\/span>In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics has placed a note of warning that as soon a child begins recovering from gut-related illnesses, the intake of a <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/balanced-diet\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">well-balanced diet<\/a> should immediately be resumed to avoid additional complications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Whether you\u2019re looking to simply pep up your fitness routine, jazz up your diet with mouth-watering low-calorie recipes or want to get your act together and significantly drop that number on your scale \u2013 BetterMe app has got you covered! <a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Brat_Diet_To_Soothe_Your_Upset_Stomach\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Improve your body<\/a> and revamp your life with us!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Brat_Diet_To_Soothe_Your_Upset_Stomach\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-36485 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-5010-1-convert.io_-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"brat diet\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-5010-1-convert.io_.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-5010-1-convert.io_-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-5010-1-convert.io_.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-5010-1-convert.io_-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-5010-1-convert.io_.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_BRAT_Diet_Modifications\"><\/span>About BRAT Diet Modifications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently there modifications to the traditional BRAT diet <\/span>have appeared.

What they have looked into are rice and <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/benefits-of-3-day-banana-diet\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bananas<\/a>, and from their research, they discovered that the bananas which are rich in pectin, a starch, make a valuable contribution to the healing of the digestive tract. They also found that in particular, green banana pulp has added goodness in that it can potentially reduce constipation and diarrhoea in children (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6627159\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research conducted in 2010 by G.

It has helped people who have felt queasy, nauseous, or have vomited as well as those experiencing diarrhea. However, the reservation most physicians today have is that it is low in protein, fibre and fat, nutrients which are essential for a body\u2019s needs. Consequently, those who follow the plan should not do so for a lengthy period of time and that as soon as possible, they should resume eating a balanced diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/store.betterme.world\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=Brat_Diet_To_Soothe_Your_Upset_Stomach\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41521 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/ezgif-5-1d0453f6f3.gif\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you suffering from diarrhoea, vomiting or a stomach virus and want to consume something for it?

Walk into any drugstore, pharmacy or the health conditions related section of your favorite supermarket and you\u2019ll be bombarded with a plethora of options and offers to settle this all too common condition people find themselves in nowadays.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The products available all tell the same story, \u2018immediate relief\u2019, \u2018quick remedy\u2019 and so on. Perhaps you\u2019ve had your fill of trying this and that without finding something you can count on each and every time. Well, the BRAT diet could be at least part of that solution you\u2019re looking for to help you recover from the effects of any stomach-related illness you may have to go through (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/children\/brat-diet\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

BRAT diets won't irritate your stomach, and a lot of people have testified to the fact that it helped them after illness to get back to normal eating without stress. Some women who were vomiting during pregnancy also found the diet useful (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/familydoctor.org\/brat-diet-recovering-from-an-upset-stomach\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/str ..."},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/brat-diet\/","url":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/brat-diet\/","name":"Brat Diet To Soothe Your Upset Stomach - BetterMe","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/brat-diet\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/brat-diet\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Brat-Diet.jpg","dateModified":"2024-12-16T08:35:01+00:00","description":"\u2605 BRAT DIET \u27a4 was mostly used for treating children with stomach-related issues.
