I have irritable bowel syndrome and the doctor said you have to eat every day I have realised he is right as I become very ill if I don't eat.
So I force myself ,if my abdomen is very distended( swollen ) as it makes other health problems worse.
The ones that are recommended to avoid are root vegetables ,chocolate ,coffee ,cheese ,probably salmon and spice .
Root vegetables produce a lot of gas which isn't good if you have digestive weakness and the other foods are called purines ,they are too rich and have toxins in them ,if taken to regularly ,coffee is a laxative as is chocolate.
Good foods to eat are mango ,papaya ,pineapple they all put a lining on the stomach.
I love onions and strawberries but onions are hard to digest.
Have mango juice or papaya juice or pineapple juice to start with ,white bread when you feel a little stronger as your stomach will be too weak for too much fibre,have bananas and tomatoes as you will need potassium.
I have a cup of decaffeinated English breakfast tea , don't like the flavour of herbal tea !but it is good for you !as my stomach likes the heat ! And then rarely have cereal with milk usually yoghurt .
When I'm in my virus stage I love curry specifically Chinese curry sauce, sauces from India are too hot for me , basmati rice which is very slightly tanned white rice ,rice is good as it is bland .
I rely on fruit flavoured and acid tablets to digest food now and a prescription medication.
I try to do mindfulness it's very very very hard
