Eating certain foods on an empty stomach can trigger digestive discomfort, bloating, heartburn, and energy crashes. Experts highlight three items—coffee, citrus fruits, and bananas—that are best avoided first thing in the morning. Coffee can irritate the stomach lining and spike stress hormones, citrus fruits may worsen acidity, and bananas can cause quick insulin surges if eaten alone. Pairing these foods with other meals or consuming them later in the day can protect digestion and support steady energy.
