Bland diet food list PDF

Individuals experiencing gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting may benefit from following a bland diet. It can also be recommended for those with conditions like gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Foods commonly included in a bland diet are lean proteins (e.g., skinless chicken, fish), cooked vegetables (e.g., steamed broccoli, boiled carrots), low-fat dairy products (e.g., plain yogurt, skimmed milk), bland carbohydrates (e.g., simple pasta, white rice), and easily digestible fruits (e.g., bananas, applesauce).

Foods to avoid on a bland diet typically include high-fat foods (e.g., fried meats, creamy sauces), spicy or heavily seasoned dishes, caffeine-containing beverages (e.g., coffee, tea), carbonated beverages, alcohol, raw vegetables, high-fiber foods, and processed meats.
