Dietary advice from medical experts highlights which foods and drinks to avoid on an empty stomach. Particular attention is paid to citrus fruits rich in ascorbic acid.

Experts note that eating an orange or grapefruit on an empty stomach can irritate the stomach lining and subsequently lead to digestive problems due to increased acidity.

It is also recommended to avoid fatty and spicy foods for breakfast. Such foods can cause heaviness in the stomach, bloating, irritation of the mucous membrane and general malaise.

Experts emphasize that coffee and carbonated drinks also harm the stomach if consumed on an empty stomach. Coffee, by stimulating the production of gastric juice, can cause irritation of the mucous membrane, and soda contributes to the expansion of the stomach and excessive formation of gases.
