Starch products

Fiber is often beneficial for health, but when you have digestive problems ( bloating, diarrhea), you should temporarily limit foods rich in fiber. Instead, you can choose low-fiber foods such as white rice, white bread, white pasta to help the digestive system rest.

Peeled, canned fruits

Some fruits are rich in fiber, such as raspberries, which can cause indigestion, especially when the skin and seeds are still present. Therefore, when you have digestive problems, you should choose low-fiber fruits such as ripe bananas, melons, or peeled apples and pears. soft fruits such as plums, canned peaches are also suitable choices.

Cooked vegetables

Cooked vegetables are easier to digest than raw vegetables because the cell walls of plants are softened, ingredients such as starch become more accessible to digestive enzymes, helping the body absorb better. Some foods that are easy to digest when cooked thoroughly include squash, spinach, potatoes, green beans, beets and carrots.

soft protein

Animal protein is free of fiber but can be indigestible if tough or high in fat. Choose soft, chewable protein with low or moderate fat content, such as quail eggs and ground lean meat.

Plant-based proteins such as fine-grain avocado and tofu are also a nutritious and often tolerated choice.

Soup, smoothies and ground foods

The way they are prepared can affect the digestibility of food. Changing the texture, such as cooking or pureeing, does not reduce the amount of fiber but helps reduce fiber, making food softer and easier to digest. For example, cooked kale or mixed with soup will be easier to digest than raw kale, and blended berries also support digestion more effectively than eating directly.
