Foods to Avoid if You Have Digestion Problems

When you’re dealing with stomach issues, it’s never fun. Specifically, digestive issues 
are a common and pervasive problem among many adults today, and most of those 
people would be shocked to learn that many of the problems that they face are 
stemming from their digestive issues. In order to take a serious look at your digestive 
health, it’s important to curate your diet and be sure that you aren't eating something 
that could be creating the problem. The next few paragraphs will be sharing a few foods 
to avoid if you have digestion problems. 

Fried Foods 

This one should be relatively self-explanatory. Fried foods are very high in cholesterol 
and harmful fats that can clogged systems in the body. When the body has trouble 
metabolizing these fats, it will often try to dispose of them through other means like 
passing them as wastes, or through the skin, which can cause terrible and painful acne 
on the surface of the skin, which primarily manifests itself on the face. Try lightly glazing 
foods with oil and baking for a similar and satisfying way to cook. 

Dairy 

While it’s easy to get a few nutrients from this category of food, many people don't have 
the required enzymes to make sure that the processing of dairy products runs smoothly. 
This can result in a host of terrible and unpleasant side effects like bloating and 
cramping. Some people describe this as a condition known as dairy intolerance. If you 
are able, try almond milk as a relatively solid alternative. 

Soda 

Soda is essentially a liquid candy, and it is highly acidic. These types of drinks can 
cause the pH of your stomach to be somewhat off, and that will kill the good bacteria in 
your stomach, and feed the harmful bacteria, leaving you defenseless against the slowly 
multiplying colonies of bacteria. It would be best to avoid drinking sodas most of the 
time if you want to keep your stomach at a healthy operating level. A good substitute 
would be sparkling water with juice flavoring. 

Coffee

This is another highly acidic and often over-processed drink. It’s very important that you 
keep your stomach free from anything that will cause the harmful bacteria to multiply 
without being regulated by the good bacteria that should be present in the body usually. 
It would probably be a better idea to choose darker teas to get your caffeine fix.
