Yes, stay away from tomatoes and most fruit for a while. I have just recently been able to eat tomatoes.

Things that early on were tolerable were:
Pasta, specially elbow macaroni with butter (or cheese sauce)
Mashed potatoes, canned peaches, yoghurt (no berry or fruit initially)
Shrimp, soups of course initially just a broth then cream soups etc..

Whipped cream is soothing too!
