Vanilla ice cream or milkshakes. Gets you calories in an easily digestible form (unless you're lactose intolerant).
I can't have peppermint tea because it aggravates my reflux. (Relaxes the esophogeal sphincter.) But I do drink Bigelow's Mint (herbal) tea.
And I should think that anything bready, like waffles, would be well-tolerated.
Expectant mothers eat arrowroot cookies for nausea, don't they?
The last trick I know is slippery elm bark powder. You can get that at the health food store. We fed that to our ferrets when they were sick with ECE (deadly digestive tract disease). Slippery elm protects and heals the stomach lining while also providing some nourishment. Someone told me that the Continental Army used it to survive ugly winters... but I could have made that up in my head. Anyway, you make a warm oatmealy paste out of it.
