stomache upset what to take

[Liza B]

Hi I my family have all been ill with a bad stomache bug, we just got rid of one 2 months ago and now we have another one, there are 7 of us so it keeps going round. I was told by a doctor 20 years ago to avoid all dairy products especially milk when you have the bug and for a few days afterwards, which I have always done, my eldest was talking to a nurse about it and she said to drink milk to line the stomache, does anyone know if this is right? We normally just take flat coke until we feel better, (health visitor told me that one). Any advice?

Dont drink milk eat fruit or green vegetables. Eat plain starchy food, potatoes, pasta - without oily sauce, and freshly cooked rice - throw away any uneaten rice dont reheat it.
