Foods To Avoid on a Bland Diet
In contrast to all the foods that may be included in a bland diet, the foods to avoid are high in fiber, spicy, have a high-fat content or can contribute to flatulence.
Fried foods, items with a high sugar or honey content, fatty meats and cured, smoked or seasoned fish or meat should all be avoided. Strong-flavored cheeses, especially blue cheese, whipping cream and other fatty dairy products are also on the list of foods to omit when on a bland diet.
