Plain potatoes contain a bland type of starch. For an upset stomach, it is important to eat them as they are and not add butter, salt, or other toppings. Baked potatoes are an excellent source of potassium and are easier to keep down when you are vomiting. The starch in the potatoes may even help to reduce the pain in your stomach.
