I know I saw this topic but couldn't find it anywhere...so coming off the flu I'm just curious what people have found to be a good substitution for the BRAT diet?

Egg drop soup worked pretty well for me.  Beat an egg and slowly pour it into boiling chicken broth.  It was gentle on my system.

Just chicken broth or beef broth is my fav I put a pat of butter in it . The fat from the butter helps to keep you full . Hope you feel better soon

BRAT stands for bananas, rice, apples and toast.  It's what doctors tell you to eat to ease your digestive tract back into gear after you've been sick.  The theory is that those foods are easy to digest.

Just got over the flu thing myself...bad deal. Best thing for me was nothing  ;) Just now back to normal since last Thursday.  I started with Mama Lupe tortilla with a little cheese melted in it.  Having for lunch again today.  ;) Hope you are feeling better.

My mom always gave us 7-Up when we were sick.  That's the only time we got any kind of soda.  To this day I can't drink the stuff.
