Besides baked potato, rice or toast?  I used to eat boiled apples, they seemed to help, but it turns out I am allergic to apples.  My guts are churning.  I am definitley flaring. sad

Usually when my stomach is really bothering me I have to avoid alot of things. Soft or liquid foods are usually the best, but for me when I'm not well I can't eat things with red food coloring (like red jello) or chocolate... Sometimes I just eat some chicken noodle soup or my mom used to make me rice and chicken broth soup which seemed to always help. I know it sucks to not be able to eat anything but sometimes if you stick to a boring diet for a few days you can go back to eating normal foods that you enjoy.

I hope you feel better soon!

A well-cooked, blended veggie soup would be good. You could also try organic veggie, beef or chicken broth. There's also a nutrition shake developed specifically for IBDers to allow bowel rest called Absorb Plus. Comes in three flavors and they taste good.

This is what I eat, and I know it might sound gross, but it actually doesn't taste too bad and is easy for me to digest.. I take rice, cottage cheese and canned chicken meat and mix it into a bowl, about 1/4 cuo of rice, a good scoop of cottage cheese and one of those small cans of canned chicken... mix it into a bowl and heat in the Nukebox for about 1:30... Tastes pretty good actually and settles my stomach down every time.. I've never had a problem doing that :) I got the recipe from my VET of all persons, when my doggie was sick... LOL, but when I made it for him the first time it smelled pretty good so I tried it and it worked for me too!!

USUALLY oatmeal works for me. I can actually get through a bowl without running to the bathroom if I'm tettering on a flare.
I'm typically OK with a little milk (w/ the oatmeal), but if you aren't just make it with water and if you are OK with it add a tad bit of brown sugar.
