A member asked:

My 89 year old grandma is having increased digestive problems and we don't know what to do. what are the lightest foods that won't upset her stomach?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doctor: Digestive problems in this age group can be a sign of a serious health problem. Amongst the diagnoses are gerd, gastric ulcer, gastric cancer... An upper endoscopy maybe suggested to determine the cause of the problem, and maybe easy to treat.
