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!

It was in service of asking for foods that were easy on the stomach, and you didn't go into detail in your post, so while it skirted the line, I figured it was okay. Plus I was happy to see you were getting so many responses!

In the future, though, please avoid talking about health stuff and know that it's perfectly fine to ask for recipes that are easy on the stomach, or drinkable, or whatever without explaining why.
