Rice
Rice is often recommended as a suitable food for soothing an upset stomach. It is a starchy carbohydrate that is generally easy to digest. When your stomach is upset, it may have difficulty processing more complex foods, but rice is gentle on the stomach. Plain white rice can help absorb excess stomach acid, which can contribute to feelings of discomfort and nausea. The mild flavor of rice is unlikely to irritate your stomach or worsen nausea.
