What are some easy to digest foods for children?

Question

My son was told to have a bland and easy to digest foods to help him get over a stomach bug. I know that toast, rice , apple sauce, bananas and crackers are good but what about pastas?

Answer 1

Pasta, and all wheat based products are not easy to digest.
All fruit is good, potatoes, sweet potatoes and rice are excellent. Avoid any meat or fish for a few days and give him chamomile tea which will soothe the digestive tract and help digestion.
Reintroduce normal food slowly and never feed children any processed foods.

Hope he gets better quickly!
