Food for Sensitive Stomach and Sensitive Stomach Diets

I am unable to digest heavy foods like paneer, grams, sweets etc.



I have a very sensitive stomach. Kindly suggest some home remedies for sensitive stomach?

If you eat full fat paneer (cottage cheese) and gram flours roasted in more amount of fat then an stomach upset is bound to happen.



Most of the sweets also are high in sugar, dairy fats and other fats so if you eat them in more amounts you will have digestion problem. If you like sweets, cottage cheese and dishes made from chick pea, you can still have them without any digestion problem.



But for that you would need to modify these products and alter your cooking methods. For example if you make cottage cheese at home from fat free milk and add little fat while preparing the cottage cheese, then it can be well digested without causing any stomach upset. Similarly if you roast chick pea flour on a low flame and then use it in different preparations with low amount of fat then it can be digested well. Also you can combine chick pea flour with other cereal flours like wheat flour or rice flour as these flours have low protein and fat and can be easily digested. If you like sweets then prefer using artificial sweetener and fat free dairy products in the preparations. Also keep one thing in mind; never overdo anything.



Eat these foods in moderation if you have a sensitive stomach or have problems with digestion.
