disgesting greasy food

[916stang]

Anyone notice after 30 you begin to have digesting issues with high greasy food or is it just me? How did you change your meals and what works best for you
Good carbs and good protein/fat sources only??

Must be you. I can occasionally eat stuff "that would make a billy goat puke"

I think for me its that I don't eat much greasy food at all so when I do, its a shock to my body and wreaks havoc. I look at it basically like going out and having a bunch of drinks with friends and knowing I will have at least a small hangover the next day. Just comes with the territory.

Bad indigestion runs in the family.
At 47 I do suffer quite badly, but find when my diet is spot on its fine.

Eating clean since 1996 with very few exceptions (Xmas, although not the last year).
I noticed that 1 or 2 cans of light Coke help the digestion of greasy foods a lot.

I have no problems at all with greasy food. However sugar from chocolate and candy, particularly late at night, upsets my stomach

[ElrondHubbard]

No problems here. But, it's a pretty minor part of my diet. I don't really care for the taste of it any more either.

At 54 now I've had a bit of trouble with acid reflux when I eat the wrong foods - I don't know if it has anything to do with getting older and digesting greasy foods or just the fact that I now apparently have a problem with me oeso****us not closing properly and when my stomach is full acid gets past into my throat. Apparently greasy food and fatty meat is the worst mainly because it takes longer and 'hangs around' in the upper stomach longer.
Last week I made the mistake of eating a 'treat' my wife had made at 8pm. It had butter in it which seem to be a trigger for acid with me. Between 9pm and 1 am I drank small glasses of water with a total of 5 teaspoons of baking soda to neutralise the acid coming up my throat.
My new routine is to do 80% of my eating through the day and have a half sized dinner 2-3 hours before bedtime, which gives the food time to go down far enough not to cause issues with my throat.

That's not grease, that's high-quality gut lotion!

Thats interesting how coke can help digest greasy foods.

It has a pH very similar to gastric acid.

Interesting. I was talking to the woman at the health shop a while ago and mentioned that when I had a glass of Coke with a hamburger I didn't have acid reflux problems as with a simple burger [on the rare occasion when I eat a burger]. She said the same thing, that the Coke helps the digestion process.

[OldFartTom]

Of course it helps!
Pepsi name comes from a treating dyspepsia, and Coke much the same but added coca (historically), so it's an indigestion remedy

The enzyme needed to digest lactose is usually not expressed anymore in adults. I switched to lactose free milk 8 years ago and got used to the sweeter taste with time.

You are going to have significantly more issues digesting greasy food cooked in vegetable oil rather than greasy food from natural animal fats. Vegetable oils are in almost everything you eat in restaurants and fast food joints and it's possibly the most unhealthy and distressing "food" you could consume.
