- Soft food: rice, lentils, khichuri, vegetables
- Fluids: oral saline, coconut water, soup, fruit juice
- Small amounts, often
What to avoid
- Fried and very spicy food
- Dark red food (such as beetroot) — it makes blood in vomit or stool harder to see
- Soft drinks and much tea or coffee
If you cannot eat or drink anything, tell the care team without waiting.
