Answer 1

We'd give Bland Diets to many pts in the hospital w/ GI problems or those recovering from surgery.


No gas-causign foods (beans, broccoli, cabbage, etc.)
No pepper, either the spice or the veggie.
Nothing fried or high fat.
Low fiber
No carbonated or alcoholic beverages

Eat stuff like:
carrots, green beans, baked potatoes, simple pasta, rice, white bread,
Baked/roasted chicken, baked fish, tuna
canned fruit; fresh bananas ok
pretzels, baked potato chips, salted crackers
smooth PNB (avoid chunky)
jelly, honey, Kool-Aid, juices (no tomato)

Answer 4

What Is Bland Food

Answer 5

That would be boiled chicken and plain rice, boiled shrimp, jello, chicken or beef broth, plain bread, non acidic vegetables, and plain pasta. In other words, plain food with no salt or seasoning. I had to go one one of those diets because of an ulcer. It's only a few days, you'll live.

Answer 6

Oatmeal, boullion, mac and cheese come to mind. I think the entire American diet is bland...but what the doc means is nothing too spicy or acidic. No 4-alarm chili, no Szechuan cuisine, no jalapeno peppers. I don't think buttered popcorn would be an issue. Probably better skip the pizza for a few days, though.

Answer 7

Vegetable and fruit juices .. most canned fruit ok ... oranges , bananas , great fruit and peaches ..NO grapes, prunes or dates or potato chips or popcorn ..Yes to poultry , fish and grilled meat .. Pepper ok , but no salt .

Answer 8

potatoes, rice, bread, banana, jello, plain chicken, chicken soup, tea, plain popcorn, applesauce
no salts, acidic food, butter, dressings, sauce, mayo

Answer 9

to me, bland means food without any added salt or seasonings like pepper, etc.
