In a pinch, you can feed a bland diet. Mix plain white rice and boiled boneless/skinless chicken breasts in equal parts then blend it or chop finely so that Jace can eat it easily. At his size, he shouldn't need much, maybe 1/4 cup. Tomorrow, you can feed him his regular diet. One bland meal should not cause an upset stomach.
