Can anyone give me any suggestions on what to feed my toddler who has vomiting and diarrhoea possible food poisoning, other than toast and crackers?

My toddler was diagnosed at 1 yrs old and the only thing he eats is yogurt and certain cookies and gummies. He won’t eat any type of meat rice not even nuggets or fries he kind of on and off between pancakes and French toast. I don’t know what to do. Doctors tell me it’s okay but it’s worrying me.

Has anyone given scrambled egg yet? If so how did it go? I've tried her with egg in pancakes and she was fine but I'd quite like to try normal egg 🤔
