Whether it’s a nasty stomach virus or accidentally getting glutened, getting your gut back on track is no small feat—especially when you live with Celiac Disease or gluten sensitivity. Last month, I got hit with both: first, I was glutened while traveling, and then came down with a brutal stomach bug a week later. I was totally wiped out.

When I finally felt ready to eat again, I was cautious about what to try first. I wanted something that would be gentle on my stomach, easy to digest, and of course—gluten-free. Thankfully, I had a few go-to staples that helped me ease back into eating.

Here are my Top 3 Gluten Free foods for recovery after the stomach flu or accidental gluten exposure:

---

1. Schar Gluten-Free Table Crackers

If you’ve been missing Ritz or Saltines since going gluten-free, these crackers are a must. Schar Gluten-Free Table Crackers are buttery, crisp, and light, perfect for calming an upset stomach. Plus, they’re certified gluten-free and easy to find at most major grocery stores. When you’re ready (post-tummy issues), they also hold up great on a charcuterie board. But first, rest and recover.

2. Progresso Traditional Chicken & Rice Soup

Chicken noodle soup is a classic for a reason but if gluten-free noodles are hard to find in a pinch, this gluten-free chicken and rice soup is a great alternative. It’s warm, comforting, and easy on digestion. You can usually find it at Walmart or any larger grocery store, and it’s a lifesaver when your appetite starts to return.

3. Brazi Bites (Cheese Bread)

These were the first solid food I craved after days of hardly eating. They’re soft, flavorful, and bake quickly straight from the freezer. Most gluten-free bread products can feel like a letdown, but Brazi Bites are genuinely delicious. They’re perfect when you’re easing back into food and need something warm and satisfying.
