Question: bland foods for a tender gut
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!

White rice
Plain rice cakes
Boiled potatoes (no skin no butter)
White-meat chicken (no skin)
Plain white fish (flounder etc.)
Silken tofu
Lowfat dairy or equivalent, including plain yogurt (I know a lot of people say to avoid this, but it works for me)
Applesauce (small quantities)
Well-cooked carrots or squash (strain out pulp, or use baby food)
Small amounts of eggs (boiled/poached - you don't want to add fat) or dishes made with them (like custard)
Another thing to avoid except in small quantities is fruit juice. The sudden simple sugar hit can be very stimulating. Diluted pulp-free OJ or apple juice might be OK is small quantities.
