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!

2.5 cups coconut milk (full fat or low fat, either works, I use full fat), 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 egg, 2 egg yolks, 1-2 tsp vanilla (to taste, I like 2 tsp).
Mix 2 cups coconut milk, sugar, and cornstarch in a pan, and cook over medium heat until thickened (stirring constantly) and starting to boil. Separately, mix egg, 2 egg yolks, and 1/2 cup coconut milk thoroughly, then add 1/2 cup of the hot thick custard, mix thoroughly, then add to rest of custard, stirring lots.
Stir in vanilla.
Pour in cups, and if you want banana pudding, alternate layers of sliced banana and layers of custard (and if you want, a layer or 2 of GF vanilla wafers), chill and serve. I pour the custard into large glasses, since it looks nifty in transparent containers.
