We use this recipe a lot in rescue. Works great on dogs with Colitis or severe diareah.

Cooked white rice (not long grain as it is harder to digest)

Canned pumpkin (not pie filling as it contains sugar)

Boiled chicken with skin removed

Large curd cottage cheese (not nonfat)

Acidophilus powder, probiotic or digestive enzyme which I give daily to help digestion of kibble but during this time it is a necessity to repair the flora of the digestive tract. You can get Prozyme at most pet stores, acidophilus at health food stores (should be in the refrig section). (If you are looking for a great one to use daily (it does help with boxer gas!) go to http://www.b-naturals.com and it is called Berte's Probiotic Blend.)

Do not add water to meals during this time feed about 1-2 cups of white rice and 1 cup chicken twice a day. Add a heaping 1/4 cup of pumpkin and 1/4 cup of cottage cheese per meal. The amounts of rice an chicken will vary by the size of the dog. Better to start with less and see how the system reacts.

I tried your suggestion on Elmo because his tummy was very upset and it worked great. He would not eat and you could hear strange loud noises coming from his tummy like tummy growls but louder. I gave two small meals and he was much better after that. Tyra enjoyed some too.
