Foods To Avoid for Nausea, Vomiting and Diarrhea
Certain foods are best avoided when using the BRAT diet for diarrhea. Milk and most dairy products and fried, fatty, sugary and spicy foods don't belong in the BRAT diet. Raw vegetables and acidic foods such as citrus fruit may be irritating, as are high-fiber fruits and vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, cherries, berries, broccoli and onions.
The BRAT GI diet doesn't include alcohol, coffee and caffeinated sodas or extremely hot or cold beverages. Drinks should be served at room temperature.4’BRAT Diet.’ The Oregon Clinic. https://www.oregonclinic.com/diets-BRAT
