10 Foods That Upset The Stomach
Helpful Upset Stomach Food #6: Acidic Foods
When we eat, our digestive system release fluids that are slightly acidic. These help to break down our food so that we can then absorb the nutrients within. The digestive system has a protective lining that protects us from these acids, but too much acid can still irritate it.
If you eat too many acidic foods such as lemons, oranges, and grapefruits then this can increase the acidity of the stomach’s contents overall. If this acidity gets too high, the result can be an upset stomach. Carbonated beverages such as soda can have the same effect as they are also acidic.
