9 Foods to avoid when your tummy hurts – #8 can kill you!

5. Fatty foods

Cream, meats, soft cheese: All of these foods are high in fat and won’t help if you’re feeling sick to your stomach.

That’s because fatty foods activate chemical receptors in the stomach in such a way as to slow down emptying of the stomach, making you feel bloated, explains Dr. Chutkan.

Other high-fat foods such as nuts will make you feel full. That may be good if you’re trying to lose weight, but not so great if you’re feeling awful.
