⛔ 10 FOODS TO AVOID FOR DIGESTIVE PEACE ⛔

1️⃣ FRIED & FATTY FOODS
These slow digestion & trigger heartburn, acid reflux & IBS flare-ups. Your gut deserves better!

These can wreak havoc on gut bacteria & cause gas, bloating & diarrhea. Watch out for sorbitol & xylitol in sugar-free products!

Irritates the gut lining, disrupts beneficial bacteria & impairs nutrient absorption. Your microbiome hates happy hour!

For the lactose intolerant, dairy means digestive distress! Try lactose-free alternatives or plant-based options instead.

7️⃣ CARBONATED DRINKS
Introduce excess gas & often contain sugar or artificial sweeteners. That satisfying fizz comes with a digestive price!

8️⃣ CAFFEINE
Stimulates acid production & can worsen reflux. Too much can even cause diarrhea in sensitive individuals!
