Avoid Greasy Foods
Avoiding oil-rich foods like fried chicken, chips, and greasy pizza can help ease vomiting symptoms. Oil is indigestible for many people, so the stomach sends it to the small intestine for absorption. However, if you’ve got a case of the vomiting bug, your body may not be able to handle even a small amount of oil. The excess gets absorbed too quickly and has nowhere to go, so it gets expelled from your body as vomit.
This also means that you’re probably not hungry when you’re nauseous, but you still need to eat. By avoiding most food sources of oil and sticking to foods that are easy on your stomach, like crackers or bread with unsalted butter, you’ll get the nutrients you need without further upsetting your stomach.
Once you’ve determined the offending item, eliminate it completely for two weeks, then reintroduce it into your daily meals by eating a small portion every few days. If the problem does not return after reintroducing this food into your diet, you can safely add it regularly.
