I'm recovering from food poisoning (ugh!) and my gut is really tender, so I need bland foods for a while. When I was a kid, the thing to eat was saltine crackers. Or toast. Or noodles. Why do all these recovery foods have gluten??

I've been eating bananas, plain rice pasta, and chicken broth (Pacific Foods, labeled gluten-free, although it has onion powder, sigh). I need more ideas, please? What do you eat when you're being kind to a tender gut?

ETA: Wow, thanks for all your good wishes and suggestions!

If fruit juice isn't sitting well, maybe a tea or herbal tea? I'm fond of peppermint. Ginger is sometime recommended for an upset stomach, but it might be a bit much on an empty stomach post-food-poisoning.

I remember a Chinese gelatin dessert that tasted like almonds. Almond milk + gelatin?
