Why Do I Feel Sick When I Eat Breakfast In The Morning?

A client I recently worked with struggled with eating too little during the day and too much at night. I observe this pattern with so many clients! She wanted to establish a better daily routine and begin eating breakfast, but she felt queasy after eating in the morning.

If you, too, are caught in the vicious cycle of not being hungry in the morning and overeating at night, I’d like to offer some suggestions for how to break the cycle. First, a disclaimer: it’s okay if you’re not a big breakfast eater. You need not exert effort. This is not the purpose of the information I’m providing.

However, if you want to eat in the morning but find it uncomfortable, consider the following suggestions and dynamics.1. Maintain a food journal I find food journals as tedious as anyone else, but in this case, it’s helpful to keep a journal for (at least) three days to get a complete picture of what’s going on.2.

• Care for the gut Morning nausea could be a sign of a low stomach pH if it occurs after breakfast.
• In short, stomach acid is required for food digestion.
• If you lack sufficient stomach acid, you will have difficulty digesting food.
• I recommend digestive bitters to stimulate digestion and increase acid levels.

Additionally, warm water with lemon in the morning can be beneficial. Additionally, digestive enzymes that aid in food digestion can be beneficial. GI Herbal Formula is an antimicrobial and antiparasitic formula that eliminates harmful bacteria in the digestive tract.3.

Stress The opposite of “rest and digest” mode is “fight or flight” mode, which is induced by stress. If the morning begins hurriedly and chaotically, this is not conducive to digestion. You may experience the unpleasant sensation of food “sitting” in your stomach. Consider a light breakfast. We do not need to “force” breakfast.

Because protein shakes are so simple to digest and absorb, many of my clients prefer to begin their day with one. The shake I most frequently recommend is called Shakeology. It contains digestive enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics, which I really appreciate in the context of this discussion about supporting digestion.

If not a shake, a light breakfast could also consist of soup or broth.5. Water Consuming water first thing in the morning is beneficial for everything. Your entire liver, metabolism, digestion, and lymphatic system! Best is warm water with lemon and a pinch of cayenne. Consider the emotional aspects of nighttime eating.

Occasionally, nighttime overeating can be a means of coping with stress. These habits are modifiable, particularly by selecting a lighter and healthier nighttime snack and by discovering alternative ways to unwind at night. Here are my favorite items. The digestive bitters ultimately aided this particular client the most.

• Her nausea was immediately reduced.
• She was able to abandon her “top heavy” eating style and consume more food during the day, when her metabolism is at its peak.
• In addition, she noticed a greater “appetite” for drinking water after the bitters were introduced, which was an added benefit.

Why do I feel nauseous after eating my morning breakfast?

Why you may experience nausea after a meal – There are numerous situations that can induce nausea, making it difficult to pinpoint its exact cause. Stress, food allergies, food poisoning, unwanted side effects from medications, taking too many supplements or vitamins, and pregnancy are examples of common causes.

How can you tell if your digestive system is malfunctioning?

If you have digestive issues, you’re not alone. Nearly 70 million Americans suffer from digestive diseases each year, ranging from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (GERD). Your gut health is affected by a variety of factors, including your family and genetic history and your body’s structure.

There are also controllable factors, such as stress and diet. When your gut is functioning properly, there is a healthy balance of bacteria that helps your body digest and extract energy from the foods you eat, eliminate toxins, fight disease, and improve your mood. You are also free of diarrhea, constipation, loose stools, gas, abdominal pain, and bloating.

Here are ten signs that you may have an unhealthy digestive tract.

1. You have a stomachache. Frequent discomfort, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and heartburn may be indications that your gut has difficulty digesting food and eliminating waste.
2. You experience fatigue more often than not. People with chronic fatigue may have intestinal imbalances. A study revealed that nearly half of individuals with fatigue also had IBS.
3. You generally have trouble sleeping. Insomnia or poor sleep can be caused by an unhealthy digestive tract, leading to fatigue. The majority of serotonin, which regulates mood and sleep, is produced in the intestines. Consequently, when there are bacteria or inflammation in the gut, sleep may be affected.
4. Some foods are intolerant to you. Food intolerances may be the result of poor quality gut bacteria. If certain foods are difficult to digest, you may have a food intolerance. This can result in abdominal bloating, gas, diarrhea, nausea, and pain.
5. You have intense food cravings, particularly for sugar. A diet high in sugar can lead to an overgrowth of “bad” bacteria in the gut. High sugar intake, especially from high-fructose corn syrup, is associated with inflammation in the body and increases the risk of other diseases.
6. You experience unintended weight gain or loss. When your gut is out of whack, your body may have difficulty absorbing nutrients, storing fat, and regulating blood sugar. Possible causes of weight loss or gain include an excess of bacteria or a deficiency in nutrients.
7. Your skin is irritated. Some skin conditions, such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis, may be caused by digestive problems.
8. You get migraines. There may be a connection between headaches and gut health, especially if migraines are accompanied by nausea or vomiting. According to studies, individuals with frequent headaches are more likely to also suffer from gastrointestinal disorders.
9. You have autoimmune problems. Some “bad” gut bacteria may cause autoimmune disorders such as thyroid problems, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and type 1 diabetes.
10. You experience frequent mood shifts. Illnesses of the digestive tract and inflammation of the nervous system can cause anxiety and depression.

So, how do you maintain a healthy gut?

• Incorporate probiotics into your diet. Probiotics stimulate the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. These can be taken in the form of vitamins or, preferably, from natural sources such as yogurt, kefir, kombucha, and kimchi.
• Reduce your consumption of processed foods and sugar. Instead, consume plant-based foods and lean proteins for nutrition. A fiber-rich diet can promote digestive health.
• Chew slowly. Chew thoroughly and eat slowly to aid in digestion and the absorption of all nutrients.
• Do away with food intolerances. If certain foods consistently trigger cramping, nausea, or acid reflux, you may be intolerant to them. Try an elimination diet to identify your trigger foods, then eliminate them completely from your diet. Consider Nutrition Counseling at Frederick Health if you require assistance.
• Drink water. You’ve heard it before, but it’s true: staying hydrated improves your body’s overall health. Drinking water aids with digestion.
• Have a grocery strategy. Stay on the perimeter of the grocery store to avoid the processed foods and refined sugars found in the center aisles. Choose fresh, nutritious fruits and vegetables.
• Exercise regularly. Movement improves the healthy microorganisms in your body, maintains regular bowel movements, and prevents disease while enhancing your overall health.
• Get enough sleep. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep daily. Proper sleep balances your hormones and prevents many situations that are detrimental to your digestive health, such as stress and late-night eating.
• Reduce anxiety. Some studies indicate that early life stress increases the likelihood of developing IBS. Managing your stress can also help you manage your digestive system.
• Stop or avoid smoking. The harmful effects of smoking on the digestive system range from heartburn and ulcers to liver disease and cancer. If you smoke, you should attempt to quit. Obtain medical assistance if necessary.
• Consult your doctor. There is no better time or location to discuss gut health than the doctor’s office. Inform your physician of your symptoms, pain level, recent changes, and health objectives.

Your annual checkup is an excellent opportunity to assess your digestive health. A Primary Care appointment can be requested online to connect with a Frederick Health provider.
