Hi Paula,
I am sorry you have been sick! That is seriously not fun, and a set back to say the least. In those circumstances, it is just best to temporarily pause your program and focus on getting 100% better. The diet is not meant to be juggled with sickness, so there are not a lot of substitutions that will possibly go in front of the BRAT foods. In regards to the gas and bloating– the more water the better in this case. Clean out the system and eat smaller meals throughout the day. The liquids in the book are the liquids approved. It is best to focus on getting healthy, instead of trying to find substitutions!
Hope this helps, and I hope you get feeling better soon!
