BRAT diet
Bland food plan
The BRAT diet is a bland food regimen traditionally recommended for recovering from stomach illness—bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast.
These foods are easy to digest and unlikely to irritate a sensitive stomach.
Medical opinion has shifted away from recommending it exclusively, as it lacks nutritional variety, but the acronym persists in household advice: The doctor suggested the BRAT diet until the nausea passes.
