Best Answer

If you have gastroenteritis, you should:

  • Get at least two tablespoons/one ounce/30 cc of fluid every 15 minutes
  • Advance diet as tolerated; don't just eat bananas, rice, apples and toast, as you will not get enough protein
  • Avoid fried foods and dairy until you feel better
  • See your health care provider if you have recently traveled, gone camping, or had sex with a man who has sex with men.
  • See your health care provider if you have abdominal pain not resolved with defecation
  • See your health care provider if you have yellow discoloration in your skin or eyes.
