Indigestion Diet

Eat in a relaxed environment. Taking the time to actually enjoy a meal can make a big difference. Eat slowly, chew your food well, and try not to swallow air while eating.

Try adding steamed cabbage to the menu. It contains glutamine, which can calm an irritated stomach. Fresh cabbage juice also works well. The cabbage should be juiced and the juice taken immediately after preparation.

Many foods have a tendency to cause indigestion. If you have a sensitive digestive tract, avoid cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, onions, cabbage, beans, and refined carbohydrates. You should also stay away from heavily spiced foods, rich foods, fried foods, junk foods, alcohol, caffeine, carbohydrated beverages and processed foods full of unpronounceable additives. All these substances have the potential to cause digestive disturbances.

To track down specific foods that may be causing problems, eliminate from your diet any food you either have cravings for or eat every day, and see if your symptoms improve. You can also keep a diary of what you eat and any symptoms you have following meals. Once you have identified the offenders, banish them from the menu.

Avoid overeating. If you have a sensitive stomach, you may be able to avoid discomfort simply by eating smaller meals. Try eating five or six small meals instead of three large ones.

Don't smoke. Smoking increases acidity in the stomach.
