What foods are considered "bland"?

Question

I just found out im pregnant and i kno im going to have KILLER morning sickness. Last time i was pregnant, i was told to eat bland foods but im hispanic and we dont really eat bland foods....i need help fiding out what foods help.

Also....during my last pregnancy, i had really bad heartburn and burped ALOT...lol...i tried using tums and rolaids but it didnt help much. Any suggestions on that?

Answer 1

You can eat a lot more things than people think you can. Try this site for a good, balanced diet that is also considered bland. And remember, different people react different ways, so keep that in mind as well. The second link addresses some other ways to help morning sickness, not just a bland diet. Hope it helps and hope all goes well!

Answer 2

Bread, crackers, rice, beans, just don't season your food heavily. I found that spicy food did NOT cause morning sickness. The best remedy for me was eating small meals throughout the day to keep food on my stomach. You can try ginger candy too.

Answer 3

Saltines, toast, plain cooked pasta (sorry, no sauce) and mashed potatoes (skip the butter and gravy.) I prefer spicy foods, but found out I preferred not being nauseous (sp?) more than I liked the spicy foods. Sleep with your head propped up too. Good luck with your pregnancy, I had twins. Yikes!

Answer 4

Just because you had it before does not mean you will have it again by any means.

Anyway..bland is anything with no or little seasonings.

Answer 5

soda crackers and ginger ale are the best. Bland foods are like puddings, broth, plain rice, bananas, toast, poached eggs....

Answer 6

Crackers, dry toast, things like that, things that dont have seasoning. I ate saltine crackers everyday.

Answer 7

anything w/o alot of flavoring or salt.
