For sensitive stomachs use an asian recipe called "congee" It is 1 part rice to 6-7 parts water slow cooked in crockpot.It will turn into a porridge(rice water good also)2 cups of rice makes an entire huge pot full.Carrots & various herbs can be added for specific health issues.This also helps with loose stools.
