About the BRAT diet after tummy upset...?!
Question: I'm from the UK and apple sauce is what we have with roast pork....is that the same in the US? If not what UK food would you compare it to like what we call jam you guys call jelly and what we call jelly you guys call jello?
It would just help me the next time my children get poorly.
Thanks in advance.

applesauce is pureed apples, sometimes a dessert or a snack. ive never had it, but i know friends who eat "porkchops and applesauce" so im sure its the same.
is jam what you spread on toast? if so, i call that jam too. its interchangable with jelly, i think... just depends what is written on the label :) haha maybe im wrong?
jello here is a fruit-flavoured chilled gelatin dessert, sometimes made with berries in it
so yes... lol, after all that... in the BRAT diet, the applesauce would be the same as what you have there.
I serve applesauce with roast pork and also pork chops
Applesauce in the US comes in jars or can be home-made by boiling and straining, then mashing, apples. It can be relatively smooth or chunky, sweetened or natural, with cinnamon or other spices or not. Some people do serve it with roast pork, finding it complements the saltiness of pork.

Jam and jelly are related--jam contains bits of whole fruit, and jelly does not. (Preserves contain larger bits or entire small fruits like berries.)
Jell-O is unrelated to jam and jelly. It's a brand name of gelatin dessert. See some at http://mydinnertable.typepad.com/home/im...
B for bananas
R for cooked rice, plain pasta, soda crackers, toast and other simple white-flour carbohydrates
A for applesauce and Popsicles--and Jell-O
T for hot tea or other clear liquids like bouillon, chicken noodle soup, clear juices, etc.
Avoid all dairy products; all fats and oils (butter, mayonnaise, peanut butter); fiber like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables; and spices except for salt to taste. This gets boring but will help calm the digestive tract, no matter which end of it is in greater distress.
When our kids were small, we kept ginger ale and the basics for BRAT on hand.
