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!

Lightly salted corn thins (you could have rice cakes, but most of the things that make rice cakes not like polystyrene are probably not a good idea right now). Once you can keep that down for a bit, natural yoghurt if you can cope with dairy (I'd still avoid cheeses for bit).
