5. Peas
It is generally recommended that you should avoid peas in your diet – both cooked and in raw form – if you suffer from any kind of digestive issues like IBS. Eating peas might very well be the trigger behind your condition if you suffer from any existing stomach issues and experience severe stomach upset – or heartburn – every time you eat something that contains peas.
This can include salads and soups, but peas can also sneak in as an ingredient in many stews, so watch out and make sure if you are not the person who cooked the food. Peas are also known for affecting the body’s hormone levels, and women are generally advised to also avoid eating dishes that contain peas during their pregnancies. Peas should be avoided for their effect on the stomach lining, and this is a food that very few people think of when they are thinking of things that cause heartburn.
