- Fermented Milk Products. Yogurt and other cultured or fermented dairy products provide a wealth of probiotics. However, when consumed on an empty stomach, the hydrochloric acid content quickly destroys the healthy bacteria, which negates any benefit.
- Sweets. While sweets initially provide a fast energy boost, blood sugar levels quickly fall, which leads to fatigue and irritability. The foods also do not contain healthy nutrients to sustain energy levels or offer other health benefits.
- Spices. Spicy foods eaten alone are too harsh on the digestive system. Spices trigger the release of gastric acid, which further creates the possibility of developing gastric disorders.
- Bananas. Although rich in magnesium, eating bananas on an empty stomach elevates blood levels of the mineral, which could alter cardiac health and performance.
- Pears. The roughage in pears can cause gastric upset and damage gastrointestinal tissues.
- Citrus Fruits. The high level of citric acid that the fruits contain can damage mucus membranes, cause heartburn and gastritis when consumed alone.
- Tomatoes. The fruits are a good source of vitamin C and other nutrients. However, the high level of tannic acid that tomatoes contain also stimulate more acid production in the gastrointestinal tract, which could damage tissues and lead to gastric disorders.
- Yeasty Foods. Breads, pastries and other foodstuffs made with yeast increase the body’s natural yeast content. In abundance, elevated yeast levels lead to a variety of problems from oral and gastric infections to skin eruptions.
- Green Vegetables. While a good source of amino acids, minerals and vitamins, the roughage contained within the produce leads to abdominal discomfort in the form of heartburn and excess gas.
- Cold Carbonated Beverages. The cold temperature tends to slow blood circulation in the gastrointestinal tract, which slows the digestive process. The carbonation can also be detrimental to delicate mucosa.
