I never was a picky eater, but having a sensitive stomach made me become one of these eaters. I love food and different kinds of food, but having stomach problems makes me always choose basic meals knowing they will not hurt my stomach. It stinks because all your friends can eat junk food 24/7, but you simply can't because you will be in pain. Even bread bothers you...You just gotta stick to basic foods and see what you like and what works for you. Here are some problems that picky eaters face on a daily basis.
1. You check to see if the chicken is cooked 24/7.
You inspect every piece of chicken before it goes in your mouth. You bother people around you because they think it's ridiculous. I mean I don't really trust anything, so I gotta make sure I see white meat only before I eat it. Plus chicken has either made you sick before or you got food poisoning.
2. Fast Food = Worst Nightmare
Yes it's amazing and makes you feel so good inside, but you regret it right after. Taco Bell, McDonalds...any of these destroy your stomach. You feel horrible right after and hate yourself for eating that cheese roll-up. You wonder how all your friends eat these numerous times a week and you can't even survive one day of it.
3. Pizza...Funny
Pizza. You love it and can eat a whole pie, but you can't. Being lactose intolerant prevents you from enjoying amazing pizza. I mean you can have two slices max, but that's all. It's horrible.
4. No Ice cream either.
You buy lactose-free ice cream, but still nothing works. Your stomach rejects every last bite. In the summertime, you are so upset because you want ice cream everyday, but you know you shouldn't even bother. Another food gone from your life.
5. Light meals only.
So what can you eat? Umm...just simple meals and make sure it is as simple as you can get. Not a lot of flavor because that will hurt your stomach as well. For me a basic piece of chicken and some salad always does the trick, but it gets boring like anything else. Eggs are your best friend because they never bother my stomach. I can eat eggs all day long.
