Other Items To Avoid on a Bland Diet
Seeds, nuts and whole-grain bread and pasta should be omitted when following a bland diet. Pickles and foods that contain strong seasonings and spices, such as chili, horseradish and garlic, can irritate the gut and should also be avoided. This includes strong dressings, barbecue sauces and pepper sauce.
Due to their high fiber content, some veggies may make people gassier than usual and may worsen an already upset stomach. These include brussels sprouts, green peppers, cabbage and corn. 5‘Flatulence: Student Health and Wellness - Medical Care.’ Andrew Bernard. shs.uconn.edu/educational-handouts/flatulence/#
