Efficacy of the BRAT Diet
Doctors have been suggesting the BRAT diet for decades. However, keep in mind that it might not always be the best choice for your digestive issues. In fact, some institutions do not recommend this diet for infants and kids anymore because those foods can be restrictive and lack macronutrients, micronutrients, as well as protein necessary for healing and developing. Some recent studies have also shown some disadvantages of the BRAT diet for diarrhea. Overall, this is still an effective option for several problems with your stomach, but it should not be a long-term solution. [3]
