What to eat when there’s a stomach bug around

Avoid milk (or any other product with lactose) as the gut often loses it's ability to produce lactase (the enzyme that breaks down lactose) during a gut infection. Ingesting lactose during this period can cause the typical symptoms of lactose intolerance - nausea, wind, bloating and diarrhoea. Usually things return to normal after a few days.

@Dark Horse. Very useful information. Did not know this. Thanks.
