Have you heard of the BRAT Diet? It’s an acronym that stands for banana, rice, applesauce, and toast. Doctors commonly recommend this diet for a few days to patients suffering the aftermath of a stomach bug, food poisoning or even an irritable bowel syndrome flare up. Obviously, these foods are not all FODMAP safe but it’s always in the back of my head when I am having a bad stomach day.
With all that being said, rice (and Cheerios) is my go-to when my stomach is feeling off. I mean is there really anything more comforting than a big bowl of rice? I love the subtle notes of lemon and ginger that gives a bit of an upgrade to the classic version.
