Brief Answer:
Yes you can eat yogurt and other types of food...

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking Healthcaremagic.

I am Dr.Endri Katro and I will be answering at your questions.

The symptoms that you describe,vomiting and pain every few seconds, correlate with food poisoning:
In this case doctors recommend these type of food to be consumed:
-low fat yogurt
-pastas
-rice
-lean meats
-bananas
-toast
-low fat diet

You need to avoid:
-carbonated drinks
-juices that contain a lot of sugar
-caffeinated drinks
-candy and chocolate
-alcohol

Usually food poisoning has another symptom and it is diarrhea (loose stools)
In this case it is important to stay hydrated and we recommend:
-Sports drinks that contain electrolytes are the best way to prevent dehydration during this time
-plenty of fluids even water

Usually the symptoms will persist from 2 to 3 days,but it is important to stay hydrated.

If you have any other question,don't hesitate to contact me.

Wish you all the best.
