Try the BRAT diet, but I usually make rice pudding.
Use about 3 short cinnamon sticks in a pot of enough water for about 1
cup of rice.
Simmer the sticks to make a tea of a moderate strength.
Add 1 cup rice and bring to boil then reduce heat to simmer until the
rice fluffs out and has NO CRUNCH!
You can remove the cinnamon sticks before adding rice or after, your
choice.
Add 3/4 cup sugar and
Add 3/4 cup golden raisins or craisins
Add 1 can evaporated milk.
Make sure the rice has no crunch because after you add the milk, it will
stop fluffing out.

Serve warm or cold the next day. Either way, the rice water and milk will
soothe the stomach and is easily eaten by anyone not feeling well. I call
this my own version of the famous "Jewish chicken soup" cause so many of my
friends have benefited from it when they had the flu or a cold or a stomach
virus.

It's also a nice breakfast change or even a dessert.
