If you have a sensitive stomach, you should eat less of these foods.

Introduction: Bloating, stomach pain, belching, acid reflux, abdominal distension, diarrhea... When you experience these symptoms of indigestion, you should pay special attention to your diet and try to eat less of the following foods.

Dairy products. Dairy products like milk contain lactose, which people with lactose intolerance cannot digest properly, leading to abdominal bloating. Excessive lactose intake can cause or worsen diarrhea.

Chestnut Chicken

Spicy foods. When experiencing nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, you should choose mild foods like millet porridge and avoid spicy foods like chili and garlic to prevent irritation of the digestive system, which can worsen nausea or diarrhea.

Acidic-tasting foods. When your stomach is upset, you should eat less acidic-tasting foods such as tomatoes and citrus fruits (lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits, etc.), as they can worsen symptoms like acid reflux and heartburn.

High-fat foods. Fatty foods can stimulate contractions in the digestive tract, which can slow down stomach emptying and worsen constipation, or they can speed up intestinal motility, leading to or worsening diarrhea. When you have indigestion, you should avoid high-fat foods such as nuts, meat, and cheese.

Fried foods. Like high-fat foods, fried foods can cause both diarrhea and bloating and constipation. The reason is that many fried foods are low in dietary fiber, which is not good for intestinal health.

Processed foods. Once constipation occurs, you should avoid eating processed foods. Because highly processed foods lack dietary fiber, which is beneficial for intestinal peristalsis. In addition, additives such as preservatives, artificial colors, or lactose in processed foods can also cause digestive problems and worsen indigestion.

Foods containing artificial sweeteners. The artificial sweetener sorbitol is most likely to cause indigestion. Sorbitol is used as a sweetener in foods like chewing gum and diet foods. Once sorbitol reaches the large intestine, it often causes bloating and diarrhea.

Alcoholic beverages. When you feel nauseous, you should not drink alcoholic beverages, as they can easily worsen your symptoms. From a nutritional point of view, alcoholic beverages do not contain nutrients such as protein and vitamins. Alcohol not only harms the stomach but also affects liver metabolism. Excessive drinking can cause indigestion and other health problems.

Foods containing caffeine. Caffeine can stimulate gastrointestinal motility, and excessive intake can lead to diarrhea. Foods rich in caffeine include coffee, tea, chocolate, and some energy drinks.

Preserved Egg Lean Porridge

Overly sweet or salty foods. Foods that are too salty or too sweet can cause heartburn and worsen indigestion.

Too hot or too cold foods. Both of these types of food can cause a stress response in the stomach after consumption, affecting stomach acid secretion and the action of digestive enzymes, which can prevent the digestive system from functioning properly.

Finally, it is important to remind everyone that if the problem of indigestion is relatively severe, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in a timely manner. At the same time, you can also take some digestive aids according to your doctor's advice.
