Ingredients
  • 2 slices Whole Wheat Bread
  • 1/4 Avocado
  • 1/2 teaspoon (optional) Lemon Juice
  • Pinch (optional) Salt

Toasting the Bread

Toast the bread slices until they are dry and lightly browned. Avoid burning the toast, as this can make it less palatable. The drier the toast, the better it will be at absorbing excess stomach acid.

Preparing the Avocado

Mash the avocado in a small bowl until smooth. You can add a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning and add a bit of flavor (optional). Season with a pinch of salt if desired, but keep it very mild.

Assembling the Toast

Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices. Eat slowly and mindfully.

The most important thing is to keep it simple and easily digestible. Choosing whole wheat bread adds fiber, which can also help with digestion. If gluten is a problem, use a gluten-free alternative.

FAQ

  • Why dry toast?

    Dry toast is easier to digest and can help absorb excess stomach acid, which contributes to nausea.
  • Can I add anything else to this?

    Keep it simple when you're feeling nauseous. A small amount of lemon juice or a pinch of salt is okay. Avoid strong flavors or heavy toppings.
  • What if I don't like avocado?

    You can try a small amount of plain yogurt or a very thin layer of cream cheese instead, but avocado is preferred due to its healthy fat content and mild flavor.
