When you don't feel well and your stomach is upset, follow the advice of your elders and eat smaller portions of bland food. Saltine crackers have been the family prescription for upset stomach and nausea for many years as they soak up the acid that sits in an empty stomach, which is often the source of the irritation. Additionally, saltine crackers prevent acid from being released in the stomach. Heavier foods tend to cause more acid production. Saltine crackers are odorless, which helps to ward off nausea, while at the same time, they contain salt, which can replenish your electrolytes. For all these benefits, saltine crackers may seem like an obvious choice when your stomach is not right. However, eating saltines may be at the cost of your oral health.
