food to avoid if you have problem with your stomach

Try taking probiotics every day. Seriously! I couldn't handle cheese or any dairy and then I built up my gut with some beneficial bacteria and I can eat dairy again in moderation.

I have had stomach problems for years, and have found that when it's bad, there are certain things that are killers. Smoking, caffeine, carbonated drinks, sweets, alcohol... everything that is 'supposed' to be bad for you, really is! I found my stomach got a lot better after quitting smoking. I can't have things like red bull most of the time, this seems to be the worst drink for me as it combines the caffeine, sugar and carbonated drink factors together! Simple, unprocessed foods, in small amounts, nothing acidic or sugary. Odly enough, when it's really bad, small amounts of mild dairy things help - I find that one of those nice little probiotic yoghurt drinks is almost soothing if I have a flareup.

And stress. I can't emphasise enough how much of my this is all caused by STRESS! I beg you, if there is anything in your life causing you stress, nomatter how hard it is, or how much it hurts to do so, find a way to cut it free - your stomach will thank you almost immediately!

My issue was dairy I gave up cheese for all vegan cheeses which are pretty awesome. (I dress up the vegan cream cheese with a little bit of honey and sometimes a little organic jam). I am also a fanatic of almond milk now.

Foods that I can't overdo: beans, white bread, raw almonds, anything with too much sodium or too processed, as that causes problems for me.

Again, this is my personal experience. I found out the problems that each of the foods caused by testing them one a time. I'm sure I have a lot more to learn still.

Best of luck.

Could be gluten allergy or intolerance... It has a tendency to develop over time.

I also Had problems but found out I had a defunct gall bladder that needed removing.

Hope you find a solution to your problem.

go to "Great Taste No Pain" by Sherry Brescia on the internet to learn about proper food combining for maximum digestion, the advantage of probiotics, etc.

Bonjour, je parle "broken" francais. Il y a plus de 20 ans depuis I've taken French in school.

Anyway, losing weight est tres difficile, n'est-ce pas? (I'm trying, sorry it's not better!)

As for heartburn or stomach problems, I have noticed that since I started eating more nonfat plain yogurt in smoothies, as opposed to milk, I feel better. I also eat less red meat, although I haven't yet given it up entirely. I don't like soy, necessarily, so I've tried almond milk lately, too. It's not so bad really. (I buy it unflavored).

There's a book called 'The Flat Belly Diet," which makes some recommendations about foods that reduce bloating, which may also help with uncomfortable side effects you're describing. I don't follow their plan, but the book helped me for a brief time.

Good luck! (Bonne chance!)

I am currently on Ranitidine and Mebeverine for what was labelled IBS. I am currently awaiting the results of a number of tests including Celiac Disease and H.Pylori.

In the meantime I have cut out all white bread, chocolate, alcohol and take a probiotic drink each day. I lost 7lbs in my first week due to cutting out the bread and my stomach seems to have settled a bit. It is really awful and I totally feel for what you are going through. I started with a really bland diet and used MyFitnessPal just as a log to keep track of any trigger foods. I'm drinking peppermint tea and eating a lot of rice cakes during the day. Little and often seems to be the key for me.

First of all, get tested for food sensitivities. An allergist will be able to test you and see if you should avoid any foods.

Then, avoid those foods.

Then, start taking Cell Food. My digestion improved 100%. I don't have to take any medications at all anymore.

Good luck.

thank you , i also forgot to add on my question that i dont smoke and i live a stressfull life at home as well, unhappy relationship...

Honestly, you need to make a change to this! I truly believe that all the medication and correct eating in the world won't solve anything if at the root of things you are suffering from stress that is persistant and unchanging! It was hard for me, but leaving a 9 year, very unhappy relationship made a huge difference to my stomach. What's the point of staying in a relationship that brings you only stress? If however there are good points that can be worked upon, do it!

The second unhappy relationship I recently broke off was my work one - 6 years in a place that caused me untold stress and brought me almost as low as my personal relationship did. I am obviously the type to stick misery out way beyond its novelty period lol! But because of this, I know that you will only be able to leave when you're ready, even if everyone is already telling you to do it. So just think about how you can reduce that stress - and remember, even if it's hard at first, that first morning when you wake up and your stomach feels light rather than lead, comfortable rather than painful, and you no longer get that horrid reflux taste, you will smile!
