Gluten Free Sick Foods?

I've come down with a nasty stomach bug and I can't eat the usual crackers, cinnamon toast, etc. because I have a sensitivity to gluten. What can I have instead that will be easy on my tummy? I'm drinking ginger ale and I have chamomile tea but I need something solid. Maybe potato chips?

    Why don't you try some glutten free crackers and breads?

    Rice crackers? They're pretty crunchy, but they're fairly neutral and most brands are gluten free. You could also try soup, even if you have to make it yourself (simple chicken-rice soup isn't hard to make, I'm sure there's lots of recipes that only use rice and chicken broth).

    Glutino Vegetable Crackers - only decent cracker I've found.

    If you want toast, the only one I like is Glutino Corn Bread.

    Ginger tea or flat Ginger-Ale

    Homemade mashed potato

    Oh no, they make chocolate rice chex? I wish I didn't know that :) I think that'd be good, though (the plain kind).. And I do have some peppermint tea... maybe I will make some ice tea out of it (not in the mood for anything hot at the moment).

    Forgot to mention that I also don't eat corn and I have an additional sensitivity to tapioca flour, which is in a lot of gluten free products.

    Also, FYI, the potato chip thing seems to be working well... mashed potato/baked potato might be okay too. That is, if I can get someone to cook for me. Any volunteers? :)

    I think I might actually have some chicken & rice soup already made in the freezer. :)
