A well known regimen for a sore gut, especially if accompanied by diarrhea, is the BRAT diet. This is even prescribed in hospitals. It is;

Bananas....ripe only
Rice.....white and well cooked
Applesauce......smooth, no lumps or added sugar
Toast....dry, white.
And thats all folks! You can eat it any way you like, I usually put sliced bananas on the toast and dollops of applesauce on warm rice.
It works because the bananas are naturally constipating, as are apples, they contain pectin, and there is little fiber in the toast and rice.
