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!

Dirty eggs
One or two eggs scrambled, some leftover cooked rice and some various bits. I use onions a lot (and I know you don't) but there are lots of other bits and pieces that could be added: a mushroom chopped, a few shreds of chicken or tuna, celery!, grated carrot, chopped kale, a scallion or some actual cooked pinto beans. It's all stirred together in a microwave safe bowl and nuked for one or two minutes.
Not a lot of any of these things if you're feeling poorly but part of the appeal should be visual to perk up the bowl so it doesn't look like just bland white rice.
When I'm just eating up leftovers, I might sprinkle it with taco seasoning before or soy sauce after cooking; but for a sensitive stomach I would suggest lightly spicing. Parsley flakes? A dust of poultry seasoning? A few drops of worcestershire with that mushroom would be some nice umami! and if you wanted to try sweet-ish instead of savory, you could do egg, rice, raisins and some cinnamon for a rice pudding effect.
Now we've done it (arms akimbo)!! sigh, I hear the leftover rice and beans from last night's dinner calling me. Time to practice what I preach, heehee.
