bland diet
Gentle stomach food
A bland diet is an eating plan that avoids foods likely to irritate the digestive system—nothing spicy, acidic, fried, or high in fiber.
Doctors prescribe it for patients recovering from stomach upset, ulcers, or surgery: The doctor put him on a bland diet until his stomach settles.
The foods are mild and easy to digest: plain rice, bananas, toast, boiled chicken.
