    That looks good, but fruit on an empty stomach doesn’t generally work well with me.

      I know those feels. The acids in apple juice used to wreck my stomach. Couldn’t drink it. OJ was iffy. No idea why. Regular fruit was fine, though. Try a self experiment and take a small antacid like tums beforehand and see if it helps?

        I wouldn’t want to rely on antacids since taking those regularly can cause problems. I generally eat something like bread or nuts and then I’m all set to take on fruits. Some fruits are better than others, since I can eat bananas on an empty stomach just fine. Either way it’s nothing major, usually mild discomfort if I eat apples on an empty stomach but maybe I’m eating too many or they’re too sour or something.

          This is a self experiment to see if it’s the acids in the citrus or other fruit causing the stomach upset, not a command to eat a ton of fruit in conditions you know will upset your stomach and fix the issue with popping antacids like candy. If the antacids do not help the problem, then perhaps you’d care to check with an allergist or physician to see if there’s a food sensitivity that might be an issue. I have a friend that has a food sensitivity to compounds in apples, onions, and other things, so this would be a quick and cheap way to see if there might be something else going on. IANAD, this is simply a suggestion. Or you can just forego fruit on an empty stomach. Whatever works for you.

        Grains work well for me, but yeah, fats, as long as it’s not too much, generally work out better for me than raw fruits and veggies on an empty stomach.
