Advice in cases of gastroenteritis for the first days

Vomiting and diarrhea cause loss of water and minerals that must be compensated.

Therefore:
Drink often and in small quantities:

• - Mineral water rich in sodium (Vals, Vichy);
• - Vegetable broth: 1 kg of vegetables cut into very small pieces and cooked for 30 minutes in 2 liters of water. Strain and add salt only after cooking;

do not eat anyway, can hardly be otherwise as vomiting are present.

Then as and when calm as intestinal relocates:

• - The apple pulp (grated apple without skin): 3-4 in the day by small spoonfuls;
• - Milk fermented liquid: in small sips;
• the applesauce and cooked very very sweet or small pots Apple / Quince, including for adults in small spoonfuls;
• - Very plain rice cooked with a little butter and grated cheese: in little spoonfuls;
• - Fermented milk very sweet: by teaspoonfuls;
• - Mineral water and vegetable broth. Coca is not at all recommended.

These foods are consumed by envy.
