A group of dieticians They have warned which foods you should avoid consuming, whether eaten or drunk, if you have an empty stomach. And some are very common in typical breakfasts.
He Daily Mail He has contacted some medical specialists and they agree that there are eight foods that should be avoided. The first is, precisely, the coffee.
The doctor Robynne Chutkanfrom Georgetown University Hospital in Washington DC (USA) says that caffeine can stimulate the stomach to produce more acid, causing reflux symptoms such as heartburn, nausea or vomiting, chronic cough, bad breath and bloating.
Caffeine can have these effects whether your stomach is empty or not, but if you haven’t eaten, the impact may be more severe.
Tracey Brigmana registered dietitian and associate clinical professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Georgia, adds, “Caffeine will be absorbed more quickly on an empty stomach, which could intensify any uncomfortable effects.”
Another dietitian, Johanna Salazar, advises having a small snack rich in protein before drinking coffee to stay well during the day. For example, oatmeal, a smoked salmon bagel, a chia seed muffin, a breakfast sandwich, or a serving of nuts.
Like coffee, experts say that caffeinated teas should also be avoided on an empty stomach. Black tea is the worstas it traditionally contains more caffeine than other types, while herbal teas such as chamomile, hibiscus, and peppermint naturally contain no caffeine.
As with coffee, dietitians recommend having a snack before drinking a cup of caffeinated tea to prevent any upset stomach.
In addition to caffeinated beverages, carbonated drinks such as soft drinks They should also be avoided on an empty stomach. Dr Brigman says they can immediately cause “bloating and discomfort” and could lead to unpleasant belching as carbon dioxide gas can become trapped in the stomach and cause pressure.
On the food front, dietitians also advised against another morning favorite: the yogurt. While it may seem like a healthy way to start the day, experts recommend eating something first. “For some people, dairy products can be difficult to digest on an empty stomach, leading to gas, bloating, and discomfort,” Brigman says.
Additionally, yogurts contain lactic acidwhich can irritate gastrointestinal symptoms and also destroy some of the beneficial probiotics they actually contain.
Another breakfast staple that experts advise against is citrus fruits and their juices. Experts note that the citric acid contained in popular breakfast products, such as orange juice, can irritate the lining of the intestine.
On the other hand, foods with high fat content They take longer to digest, resulting in increased acid production, which can be a problem for someone with a sensitive gastrointestinal tract.
You must also avoid spicy foodwhose effects can be even more severe if you are not used to eating these types of ingredients.
And finally, dietitians advise reserving sugary products After a salty meal: Consuming sugary foods or drinks on an empty stomach can cause a blood sugar spike, which can be followed by a huge energy drop.
