{I first published this as a Google document, mainly because I wasn’t going to have any pictures to go with it, and you know I like posts to have pictures. My thought was that this should be something easy for you to print out and put in your menu binder. But now Google has messed with things, so I’m just posting it.}

Worksheet VI: Bland Diet
What to eat when you (or someone you love) have an upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, the flu,
or the doctor says “bland diet”:
During:
Give liquids by the spoonful:
Tea with sugar and no milk
Peppermint tea
Ginger ale (be aware that big-name brands don’t actually have ginger in them, but do have High-Fructose Corn Syrup. Maybe stock up on real cane sugar soda with real ginger (I get mine at Whole Foods, not a store I usually shop at)
Diluted juice
Popsicles
{don’t give plain water}
Recovery:
No fats.
No dairy.
Soft-boiled egg
Poached egg
Very ripe banana
Applesauce
Toast – no butter; honey or jelly are okay
Saltines, not Ritz (too oily)
Beef broth (be aware of the non-nutritional nature of canned beef broth, as well as the MSG, and maybe have some homemade stock in the freezer)
Plain chicken
Chicken noodle soup
Chicken rice soup (use white rice)
Rice (salt, and a tiny amount of butter can be tolerated after a bit)
Mashed potatoes (without milk – mash with potato water and salt)
Popsicles
Apple juice mixed with water
Black “real” Tea – sugar, no milk
Peppermint tea
Ginger ale
Tonic (not for pregnant ladies as contains quinine – but good for malaria ;)
Introduce dairy in the form of plain yogurt sweetened with a little jam or honey. (Ice cream is usually well tolerated, at least by our family. ☺)

Thanks for providing up here all the worksheet. I really happy by getting those. As far as I came to know about bland diet from your post I've understood that is very much vital for recovering from stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, the flu. Thanks :0
