Article: Your stomach muscles are going to feel pretty sore after you finish throwing up, especially if you were vomiting a lot. Letting your stomach rest will reduce the risk of you vomiting again once you get back to eating. It’s okay to rinse your mouth out with a little bit of water to get rid of the taste of vomit after you throw up. Just try to avoid swallowing any of it for the first 15 minutes. Ginger has antiemetic properties, which means that it can help to stop nausea and vomiting. If you have some fresh ginger around, you can cut off a 0.5 in (1.3 cm) piece and chew on it or use it to make a cup of ginger tea. Cut off the skin with a knife and place the whole piece in your mouth if you want to chew on it, or place it into a mug and pour boiling water over it. Steep the ginger in the hot water for 10 minutes and then sip the tea slowly. You should wait until you’ve been able to keep liquids down for 8 hours without vomiting before you try eating anything. The first things you try to eat should be light, starchy foods that are easy to digest, such as bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast, also known as the BRAT diet.  The BRAT (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast) Diet is the recommended diet for people suffering from an upset stomach. Tea and yogurt are also easy foods to eat after vomiting. This will put less of a strain on your stomach than eating a big meal every 6-8 hours. Also, limit your meals to foods served cold or at room temperature for the first 24 hours after vomiting to minimize the risk of upsetting your stomach again.  Some examples of foods to try to eat at this stage include mashed potatoes (that aren’t too hot), rice, cream soups made with low-fat milk, pretzels, or low-fat pudding. Don’t eat any fried, greasy, acidic, or sweet foods at this point, as these types of foods can irritate your stomach. Wait until you’ve been vomit-free for 24-48 hours before trying to tackle fried chicken or a glazed donut. Caffeinated and alcoholic drinks and tobacco products can all irritate your stomach and potentially cause you to start vomiting again. To be safe, avoid consuming these products for at least 24-48 hours after you’ve stopped vomiting. If you’re lactose intolerant or otherwise sensitive to dairy, you should also refrain from eating any dairy products until you’ve gone 24 hours without vomiting.

What is a summary?
Refrain from eating or drinking for 15 minutes to let your stomach rest. Chew on a piece of fresh ginger or sip a cup of ginger tea. Try eating bland, soft, starchy foods 8 hours after you’ve stopped vomiting. Eat small meals every 2-3 hours to slowly return to a normal diet. Avoid caffeine, tobacco, and alcohol until your stomach feels better.
