What is the BRAT diet?
Bananas
Rice
Applesauce
Toast
All four of these foods are soft, bland and low in fiber, which may help settle your stomach for a day or two when youāre dealing with gastrointestinal issues like:
Viral gastroenteritis, aka āstomach fluā
Food poisoning
This temporary diet, which was once considered the go-to for an upset stomach, lacks essential nutrients and is no longer recommended.
