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!

When I was ill my mum always made me 'magic soup' which was chicken broth with pasta, and a beaten egg stirred through. Quick, easy, and gentle on the stomach. The 'magic' was that the pasta of choice were stelline, or little stars, but any small pasta would work.
