Processed Grains, Cereals and Desserts
Pasta and bread made with processed grains or refined white flour are included in a bland diet. Crackers and tortillas can be consumed if prepared with refined flour. It's also permissible to top toast with creamy peanut butter or jelly. Other breakfast options include low-sugar cereals, cream of wheat or oatmeal.
The good news is that desserts are allowed under a bland diet. Sponge cake, puddings and plain cookies are good options and can be topped with plain custard.
