When to start eating solids after food poisoning
How to Eat After Food Poisoning
hi I'm Charlotte Lawson a registered and
licensed dietitian here in Tampa Bay
Florida now if you've had food poisoning
it was probably a pretty traumatic
experience and actually food poisoning
is one of the most undiagnosed symptoms
or even hospitalizations that happen
you're probably very cautious because
the symptoms of food poisoning are not
pleasant whatsoever and now that you're
starting to reintroduce foods you're
wondering what can I eat and how do I
avoid this from happening again well
first start slow especially since you've
probably had a lot of emptying from the
illness start with fluids try clear
liquids first and what I mean by clear
liquids are things you can see through
so obviously water is one but this also
includes your fruit juices like
cranberry and apple and pear juice these
things I have an excellent source of
easy digestible carbohydrates as well as
vitamins and minerals to help boost our
immune system back up then go into more
of a full liquid diet and buy full
liquid I'm talking creamy or thicker
consistency liquids this is where milk
and even cream soups come into play you
can actually have enough calories off of
a full liquid diet so try for those
creamier things and again start slow and
dealing with the liquid diet we're
automatic automatically rehydrating our
body with some of those excess fluids we
may have lost so start slow then move on
to your easy to adjustable carbohydrates
your softer foods things that are
palatable to you meaning things actually
sound tasty and that you want to enjoy
on the once you get back to a regular
full menu and normal dietary habits that
you were used to keep in mind for
trigger foods especially if you're at a
picnic for instance things that have
been sitting outside for longer than two
hours without proper heat or cooling can
be dangerous foods things like
mayonnaise or things with eggs in them
also raw meats just be aware of those
trigger foods that can possibly cause an
upset again you want to keep hot foods
hotter than 140 degrees and cold foods
colder than 40 and again if they've been
in that danger zone which is 40 degrees
to 140 for longer than two hours it's
probably ready to toss it so when in
doubt throw it out and those are just a
couple tips on how to get back into a
regular diet and also to avoid that
symptoms of food poisoning again
I'm Charlotte and eat happy
