Comfort foods for when you aren't feeling well?

Before surgery, I knew how to treat an upset stomach or when I felt ill....and I can't go back to those.  I imagine old comfort foods like plain rice and other gentle foods are what helped my gain.   So I'm looking for new ones...what do you eat when you are having a jumpy stomach day that keep you on your plan?  I can't stomach yogurt today or any meats.   I might be able to handle some scrambled eggs....any other ideas?

The only time I have had trouble with my pouch is when I have had a "bug" that also included various other symptoms, but I did ok with vanilla yogurt and oatmeal. If you are queasy, garlic pills do wonders for that!  (You will burp garlic for a while, though, unless you get the ones with chlorophyll added!)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is just a run of the mill bug kinda thing.  I'd love a plate of mashed potatoes, but I think I'll try something better for me.   I've never tried garlic pills before  The burping garlic would bug me.

I hear the ginger Gravol works really well too.

I don't know about the gravol, but I do have some candied ginger, probably too much sugar though.

I've been nauseous all day today.  Ugh.  I'm getting ready to try a protein shake.  I might try some soup later.

I hope the shake goes down okay for you, that does not appeal to me at all right now.  Soup is a good idea though.

I just had a popsicle instead.  That actually seemed to help me feel a little better.  I know, no real  nutrition there.  But at least I'm staying hydrated.

I love tomato soup, but it sounds so acidic today.  Maybe I'll try a more bland soup.
