5. Say no to excessive fried and fatty food
French fries, fried chicken, greasy burgers, and creamy dishes might taste delicious, but they can be troublesome for people who frequently experience indigestion.
Fat plays an important role in a healthy diet. However, large, high-fat meals can slow stomach emptying and may contribute to uncomfortable fullness, nausea, or bloating in some individuals.
Fatty meals are also common triggers for acid reflux.
Imagine eating a large cheeseburger, a generous helping of fries, and a milkshake. Your stomach now has to accommodate a considerable volume of food containing substantial amounts of fat.
For someone with a sensitive digestive system, that combination may lead to hours of discomfort.
Fortunately, you don’t necessarily have to give up your favorite foods.
Try grilled chicken instead of fried chicken, baked potatoes instead of fries, or smaller portions of rich sauces. You can also experiment with leaner cuts of meat and lighter cooking methods.
Try this: If indigestion regularly follows greasy meals, reduce the fat content and portion size of those meals for a week or two. See whether the change makes a noticeable difference.
Remember that food triggers vary. A fatty meal that bothers one person may be perfectly tolerable for another.
