“High-fat sources of protein like processed or red meats and fried food can cause reflux — especially if you’re consuming large amounts late at night,” London says. “Eggs are an easier-to-digest alternative and an easy way to meet your protein needs without getting too full, too fast.” She recommends scrambling them with a drizzle of cooking oil or butter for a light dinner when you need something simple.
Adding whole grains can both soothe tummy ailments and prevent any future intestinal issues. “Soluble fiber from oats draws water into your digestive tract and moves food through your body,” London says. Aim to hit at least 25 to 35 grams of total fiber per day, but don’t overdo it. “Both hunger and overeating can make nausea, bloating, abdominal pain, and gas even worse,” she adds.
