These 19 Foods That Are Incredibly Easy to Digest
When you have an upset stomach, you often turn to foods that help calm the irritation, such as broth and toast. But there are some other foods to be considered that are not only easy on the stomach but also benefit your gut health in general.
Dr. Tricia Pingel, NMD, an Arizona-based naturopathic physician and best-selling author of Total Health Turnaround, notes that there are four goals when you have an upset stomach. “Give the stomach a break from heavy food consumption. Kill off any possible infective bug. Support the healthy gut flora. Lower inflammation.” She explains that focusing on foods that act as a prebiotic, a probiotic, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory are the best courses of action to not only handle the symptoms but also restore gut health as a whole to prevent future irritations.
