when you are comfortable with your stomach

It appears to be an advice for some one who has lost body fluids(from excercise, perspiration, heat stroke or diarrhoea). "Start-with-liquids" is a common advise for some one who has lost too much liquids in your body. Water is normally absorbed into the body through the stomach. The body will correct itself of this problem and then "when you feel like it" go back to your normal diet (food habit)
