Speak Up: What Foods Upset Your Stomach?

February 19, 2009

I'm not one of those people who has a stomach of steel, and because of my sensitive belly, there are a list of foods I try to eat in moderation because I know they upset my stomach to some degree. Raw garlic, Chinese food, ice cream, spicy foods, and even apples on an empty belly can give my tummy a hard time. What about you? Share the list of foods that don't agree with you in the comment section below. Do you avoid these foods completely, or eat them anyway and deal with the digestive consequences?

Milk upsets my stomach, especially if it is not completely fresh (like a week before the sell-by date fresh). I'm hyper-sensitive to the smell of dairy products (uncooked cheese is out, but ice cream is fine :D) and somewhat lactose intolerant. Another: bananas. Can't eat them without feeling like throwing up. I can't even drink smoothies with banana extract without feeling horrible. Similarly I have varying degrees of problems with pineapple (but I love it too much to give it up, but fresh pineapple isn't as bad as canned stuff), kiwi, and cantaloupe (eww.) No problems with spicy foods like most people seem to have, but I have problems with smelly foods. Garlic is fine (I love that smell), but most fish, gimchi, or other things that can smell bad just don't sit well with me.

Greasy foods, Most Italian foods, Mexican food, Chinese food, spicy food, most really Cheesy food items, Pizza, soda, fast food, any dish that I eat too much of, jalapeño poppers, Ice cream, sweets, fettuccine alfredo, really acidic fruits like grapes, apples, and oranges, too much garlic, really anything that tastes awemazing make my stomach upset and gives me both diarrhea and makes me throw up and make me have a lot of pain and stay in the bathroom for hours or keep going back and forth between my bedroom and the bathroom

I've been struggling with my stomach for the last year and a half. Pain, gas, bloating, weight gain. Basically IBS-C for those who have the same. I thought it was lactose intolerance. I'm pretty sure it's not. I just can't stand the Activia Yogurt. Major bloating and no one wants to be in the same room with me after eating that stuff. Now I'm thinking that it is apples and acidic fruits that are upsetting me. So I'm avoiding those. And I think another thing that is important for me is keeping a regular eating schedule. All of the days that I feel the best is when I have to do training and eat a breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same time everyday.

It isn't really a food but too much mountain dew seems to have me on the toilet for a while.

Ice cream, any milk other than skim or 1%, sweets, cake, regular sodas, anything with more than a little sugar, warm sodas

Oh yeh, apples and grapes and some other vegetables/fruits used to give me bad stomach aches, but I've learned that that was because of the pesticides sprayed on them. They actually gave me migraine aura problems as well. Now I only eat organic and I don't have any problems.

Overcooked eggs, like scrambled eggs or omelettes that are browned on the outisde (instead of soft, moist and yellow all the way through), hardboiled eggs (as opposed to soft-boiled), and I just learned that when eggs are overcooked, the good cholesterol in them becomes rancid! So it now makes sense! I also cannot eat raw onions, they burn my throat, upset my stomach, I can't think straight, my pulse rises, and I feel sick for hours even over a day ... I can't even kiss my boyfriend if he's eaten them within the last 6 hours, because the smell is repulsive and will start to make me sick! Now mind you, I can eat all the cooked onions I want! and I can eat soft-cooked eggs in every way w/o problems!

Wine and cholocate together. If I have wine with dinner, I can't have anything with chocolate for dessert or I get I really upset stomach. Any other kinds of sweets are okay.

Peppers in ANY form, raw, cooked, in processed foods, chili powder, paprika, etc. I cannot eat more than a bite of any foods containing that, or I will get moderate to severe stomach pain and cramps, sweating, itchiness, and a couple trips to the bathroom, and possibly vomiting. Bananas will ruin me, also. Used to be able to eat them...not so much anymore. Apples, moe than a few bites, give me a stomach ache, too. Sometimes when I eat salad, also, but haven't narrowed down the particular veggie, there. Sometimes onions. Can't drink wine anymore, either.

My stomach does not agree with red onions. I also can't handle coffee or bananas on an empty stomach.

Wheat, dairy, garlic, onions,peppers, corn,corn syrup,caffeine. Take Lactaid Ultra pill x 2 for dairy. Completely avoid wheat. Will damage intestine over time.

I had some real problems with my stomach and was told to lay off the spicy food. well I had heard from someone that eating spicy food will help your stomach. sure enough after a few months my stomach felt better. but anything with liquid smoke in it makes me sick, and like another post banannas make me sick to my stomach sometimes. I can eat habanaros, but jalapenos kill me. (is that weird?)

as with everyone it only happens to those products that have to much sugar or salt as well as those that are from the dairy range. as for spice food, its bad for your heart so why in the first place?

Eating anything, any meal, even any drink including water is painful experience daily whenever I attempt due to feeling hungry. I am in search of a pill that kills my appetite forever. Can anybody help me! For the last 5 years it is so. I propose Scientists to have experiments on me.

Surprisingly....a healthy diet makes makes me gassy and makes me feel bloated and an upset stomach...soy milk, lentil soup, cream based soup or sauce, milk (sometimes), wholegrains in muffins or cereal. I don't know if my stomach thinks I am going through detox everytime I am trying to eat a fruit and whole grain diet but it just gets so bloated..weird!

I haven't found any foods that upset my stomach yet.

Creamy and greasy food. I usually eat really light and healthy, but the once in a while naughty indulgence will get me more than acquainted with the loo! Wretched stuff. But then again, it's a good thing. At least eating healthy is easy for me because of that.
