What does your diet consist of? Is it balanced? Healthy? Unhealthy?
If you're someone who usually feels bloated, suffers with heartburn, has acid reflux, this could be because your body is struggling to breakdown the food you are eating and it's most likely just being stored in the gut until your body can digest.
To AVOID suffering and slowing your digestion. Avoid the following:
- Acidic fruits, especially if you have an empty stomach it can irritate the gut and cause acid reflux.
- Say no to caffeine. If you drink coffee excessively it will cause inflammation of the gut.
- Dairy contains lactose; those who are intolerant won’t be able to break it down in their bodies causing a bloat and diarrhoea also.
- Fried foods are too high in fat which causes heartburn and acid reflux.
- Processed foods are high in preservatives and low in fibre causing bloating and cramps.
- Spices, if you suffer from digestive issues hot foods can do more damage than good here as it will irritate the throat consequently causing heartburn. So it is best to avoid if you already have an upset stomach
