Food and how you cook linked to indigestion

GREEN olives and broccoli are among the foods that are more likely to trigger symptoms in people with recurring indigestion.

that was the finding of a study by istanbul Medeniyet University in t urkey involving patients with functional dyspepsia.

the researchers, who looked at diet and how the patients prepared their meals, found some foods — broccoli, radish, celery, green olives, olive oil, dry fruit and butter — were more likely to cause symptoms.

‘reducing consumption of these foods and aban - doning unhealthy cooking methods such as roasting might be beneficial for relieving symptoms,’ they wrote in the t urkish Journal of gastroenterology.

exactly why these foods are triggers is unclear.
