Your mother was right—bland, starchy foods really are one of the best things to eat when you're dealing with vomiting. Rice is simple to digest and gentle on an upset stomach, making it an ideal food until symptoms improve. Stick to rice and other starchy staples like potatoes or plain pasta while you're feeling rough. If your stomach can't handle solid food just yet, rice milk is a helpful alternative. As things improve, you can slowly start adding boiled vegetables to the mix, increasing the variety a little with each meal.
