Our stomach would feel calm by intake of bananas having sweet flavour and soft texture etc. Point is that bananas are easy to digest and would provide the much needed energy booster after vomiting.

Rice or plain potatoes intake:

If the stomach is feeling uneasy then it is superb to eat rice or plain potatoes having starch. It must be taken into note that these foods are easy to prepare and rich in calories etc.  The stomach would get calmed down or settled down.

Avoid dairy foods:

Nausea could get worse when we eat dairy foods like milk, cheese and yoghurt etc as these foods would irritate the stomach lining. Those who are lactose intolerant must not consume dairy items as it could lead toto further issues.

Avoid spicy foods:
