Does eating tangerines on an empty stomach cause indigestion?

On busy mornings, many people substitute simple meals for rice. However, caution is advised, as some foods can cause heartburn and indigestion when consumed on an empty stomach.

 

◇Tangerine

 

Tangerines are a winter-season fruit. Eating tangerines on an empty stomach can cause gastroesophageal reflux disease, stomach ulcers, heartburn, and indigestion. This is because tangerines contain various acids, including organic acids, tartaric acid, and citric acid. Eating tangerines on an empty stomach can damage the stomach lining due to their acidity. Similarly, oranges, grapefruit, and lemons, which are highly acidic, should also be avoided on an empty stomach.

◇Coffee/Tea

 

Drinking coffee or green tea on an empty stomach should also be avoided. The caffeine in coffee and tea increases stomach acid levels and stimulates gastric acid secretion. If gastric acid is secreted without food in the stomach, it can irritate the stomach lining and cause inflammation. Furthermore, they contain tannins, which can stimulate gastric acid secretion and cause heartburn.

 

◇Sweet potatoes

 

Sweet potatoes are also often eaten as a breakfast substitute, but surprisingly, they can cause heartburn. Sweet potatoes also contain tannins and gelatin, which irritate the stomach lining and stimulate acid production. Diabetics should be especially careful, as eating sweet potatoes on an empty stomach can cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels.

 

If you have trouble eating breakfast in the morning

 

▲We recommend eating vegetable-based salads, boiled eggs, potatoes, yogurt, nuts, etc.

 

Salads are rich in fiber, eggs are rich in protein, and potatoes contain vitamins B, C, and starch, which protect the stomach. Instead of eating cereal in milk, try adding nuts to Greek yogurt. Yogurt's prostaglandin E2 helps alleviate stomach ulcers and protects the stomach lining from harmful substances.
