Food poisoning typically occurs when pathogens contaminate food or drinking water. Though uncomfortable, food poisoning is relatively common. The main symptoms of food poisoning are vomiting, diarrhea, and upset stomach. When a person reintroduces food after a bout of food poisoning, the goal is to eat foods that are easy to digest. This may mean following a diet for an upset stomach known as the BRAT diet. Also, a bland, low-fat, and low-fiber foods help to replace lost electrolytes. It is important to avoid fatty foods, carbonated drinks, caffeinated drinks, fried and junk food as these can irritate the stomach and may trigger the problem.
