people with weak stomachs

[sjwaste]

I think variety is the trick. I rarely have digestive issues, and I think it's because I eat a wide variety of food, both healthy and unhealthy for that matter.

Recently, I started trying to get some different foods into my regular diet, and lentils have just been destroying me. Not in the "run to the toilet" or heartburn sense, but giving me horrendous gas. Soy used to do that to me, but I ate enough and got used to it.

I grew up on Italian cooking, mostly of the southern variety, but also my grandmother's northern African cooking. As a result, spicy and acidic foods do very little to bother me. Or at least, I think that prolonged exposure got me used to it.

For what it's worth, I found that eating things that give me gas are easier to phase in if I eat them with white rice initially. That solved the soy and lentils.

For me, my stomach can handle what it's used to. When I lived on campus and ate lots of greasy cafeteria food all the time, my stomach was bullet-proof. When I go long periods of time eating healthily with no fried food or fast food, that kind of stuff kills me.

coa cola hurts my stomach, yet I continue to drink it..in pain.

I prefer pepsi, but I still drink coke.

I can't eat bananas anymore, sadly. About half of the time when I eat them, I start feeling like someone has gut-punched me about 15 minutes later.

I'm also starting to get heartburn on occasion, which was never a problem for me in the past. Getting old kinda sucks.

Are people really this fucking obtuse when it comes to the digestive system? You think the jokes about mexican food giving you crazy shits is just made up or something? Its a reason why I want to punch people who bitch about others not trying different foods, some people's bodies do not handle various foods well, and some can handle just about anything. I've always been pretty WTF at people who expect you to try crazy flavored/spiced or raw stuff when its early in the day and you have plans to go do a bunch of stuff later (as in amusement parks, boating, etc).

This. Our stomachs are accustomed to our regular diets. One can adjust it to be more tolerant of a certain kind of food simply by eating it more often, but it's not always a pleasant process.

I eat everything from cheap pizza to McDonalds to Chipotle to fish to raw vegetables and fruit on a weekly basis. I have no digestive problems, maybe a little gas here and there. *shrug*

Drink some water with it.

I've eaten there plenty of times and never had the runs or shits or anything like that.
