Gentle Foods for a Sensitive Stomach (and When to See a Doctor)

An uneasy stomach can come from many places — skipped meals, stress, spicy food, or something more persistent. While we can't tell you what's causing your discomfort, we can share some gentle, food-first habits many people find comfortable, and the signs that mean it's time to see a doctor instead.

Gentle Choices to Consider

• Warm fluids. A warm drink — ginger tea, warm water, or a mug of NutriBrownRice® — can feel more settling than something cold or fizzy.
• Bananas. Low in acidity and easy to digest for most people.
• Plain oatmeal. A soft, simple option that's gentle on the stomach for many.
• Smaller, slower meals. Eating smaller portions and chewing slowly can ease the load on your digestive system.
• Avoiding known triggers. Spicy, fried or very acidic foods are common triggers for stomach discomfort — but everyone's tolerance is different, so pay attention to what your own body tells you.

Where NutriBrownRice® Fits

NutriBrownRice® Original (No Sugar Added) is made from finely milled brown rice, coconut oil powder and inulin, a prebiotic fibre from chicory root. It's a warm, simple drink many customers find comfortable — but we're not able to claim it treats gastric pain, and it isn't a substitute for medical care.

When to See a Doctor

Natural, gentle habits can help with everyday discomfort, but please see a doctor if your symptoms:

• Persist for more than a few days
• Come with vomiting blood or black, tarry stools
• Involve sudden weight loss
• Include severe or sharp abdominal pain

These can be signs of something that needs proper medical attention, not a home remedy.
