The 7-Up is to keep your blood glucose up.  You could substitute
diluted fruit juice, in seltzer if you like.  The crackers and
toast are for the diarrhea -- part of the BRAT treatment:
bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast.  You could use the bananas
and applesauce.  At least the bananas would help to replace some
of the potassium you are losing from the diarrhea.
