Because stomach problems are not very pleasant, and you certainly do not disagree with it, it is important to know some “medicine” to combat bloating, indigestion and nausea.
So, in addition to taking medication, there are some foods that you can keep in mind for such circumstances. From oats, which are high in fiber, to probiotic-rich yogurt and anti-nausea ginger, the following foods help with digestion and soothe the stomach.
Tea and chamomile
Farah Fahad, MS, RD, says that even one sip of mint tea helps with digestion, relaxing the muscles in the stomach, helping it to process food faster. Another drink that can help relieve stomach pain is chamomile. Like mint tea, chamomile tea relaxes muscles. Fahad claims that chamomile helps relieve gas, and then relieves the pain associated with bloating.
Yoghurt
While not everyone can tolerate dairy, for those who can, Fahad recommends consuming yogurt, as it helps digestion by restoring the good bacteria in the gut, thus reducing the uncomfortable feeling of bloating.
Oats
An oatmeal bowl is the perfect remedy for upset stomach, says Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN. Not only is oats a good source of fiber, but it also helps with digestion.
Bananas
Fahad recommends eating a banana when you have a bloated stomach, as it happens to be one of the most digestible foods. In addition, he says that bananas are a good source of pectin, which, if you have diarrhea, also helps in the excretion of feces.
Papaya
A rich source of proteolytic enzymes, papaya helps in the process of digestion. In addition, some of these enzymes it contains (papain and chymopapain) help break down proteins and soothe the stomach by promoting a healthy acidic environment.
Ginger
In case of nausea, look for some fresh ginger, says Fahad. Although the exact mechanism of nausea is unclear, some evidence suggests that ginger inhibits serotonin receptors and exerts anti-nausea in the gastrointestinal tract as well as the central nervous system.
Eggs
According to Stephanie Vuolo, a certified nutrition therapist and creator of Primarily Paleo, a healthy protein supplement in your meals can be safe for your stomach, as long as it is in a slightly mild and, yes, soft form? The translation into all this? Eggs – preferably in omelette. In addition, eggs are lower in fat than, say, steak or fatty seafood such as salmon, which will eventually be much more digestible for a sensitive stomach.
Chicken
Again, like eggs, chicken (especially without skin and without extra oils and side dishes) can be a great way to ensure that you are still getting protein and nutrients, even if you have an annoying stomach ache – whether it is cramps, nausea or gas.
Sweet potatoes
While you’ve probably heard that white rice is very helpful in relieving stomach pain, Vuolo argues that slow but gentle carbohydrate sources such as sweet potatoes may be better choices. Rich root vegetables can be steamed, boiled or cooked to get a soft and smooth texture, but they are still full of the vitamins and minerals your body craves.
Mint
In case of reflux, Smith suggests avoiding mint. If this is not a problem, Smith says mint is an excellent natural remedy for indigestion as well as bloating.
