8 Worst Foods for Digestive Health

1. Grease: Fried food will always top the list of foods which are enemies to your digestive system. Existing minor digestive problems will become intense and lead to heart burns or acid refluxes as a result of eating fried food. French fries, steak & fried chicken are some of the top contenders in the list of fried food that goes against your digestive system.

2. Processed Food: Packed or processed food has a high carbohydrate content. If consumed in large quantities, this will lead to cramping, bloating or even excessive gas formation. These foods do not do good to your weight or blood sugar levels either.

3. Chili Peppers: You might enjoy the taste at the moment, but at times they can lead to heart burns for hours together. They do more damage to your digestive system if you take them before you go to bed.

4. Candy: If you have a sweet tooth and are in the habit of munching a candy regularly, you are not only damaging your teeth but also your digestive system. They can stir up existing disorders and make the effects worse. They are diuretic by nature and can cause diarrhea and loose stool.

5. Artificial Sweeteners: They might do good for your sugar levels, but they take their toll on your digestive system. They worsen the effects of digestive disorders like bloating in your stomach, excessive gas formation & diarrhea as well.

6. Alcohol: It might not be food technically, but it nonetheless causes the effects as all other foods on this list. Alcohol can cause heart burns and acid refluxes by relaxing the sphincter in your esophagus. If consumed in excessive quantities on a regular basis, they damage your stomach lining and cause cramping and diarrhea. It also reduces your digestive system’s ability to absorb proper nutrition for your body.

7. Acidic Fruits: Fruits like tomato, orange & grapes have a high acidic content. When consumed on an empty stomach, these foods damage your stomach lining.

8. Raw Vegetables: Uncooked vegetables might do a lot of good to your body, but they also contain a lot of insoluble fiber. If you are already facing trouble with your digestive system, these vegetables could make it worse. Your already weak digestive system finds it hard to digest these vegetables worsening the problem altogether.
