  If you get food poisoning, drink a lot of water or powerade to help replace the fluids you have lost. A few hours after the episode if you think you can hold something down, try eating plain yogurt.

  Yogurt contains good bacteria that will enter your digestive tract and fight off any bad bacteria that may be causing the food poisoning. After you eat yogurt wait a few hours and slowly start to eat easy-to-digest foods like toast and jello.
