If someone takes a food, dips in oil or fat and then deep fried, it becomes something that can be quite difficult to digest. Fried foods inevitably are greasy and high fat content, two factors that can cause stomach problems. If you already suffer from inflammatory bowel disease, fatty foods are especially problematic and can cause symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea, says Tara Gidus, a dietitian in Orlando, Florida. To create a healthier version, use chicken pieces (nuggets) frozen (or use your own mixture of breadcrumbs and egg in chicken breasts) and cook in the oven instead of frying.

The advice to avoid fried food in exchange for tasty alternatives is also helpful for other traditionally greasy snacks, for example, fries. To enjoy the feeling salty and crispy potato chips without the unfortunate side effects, look for baked versions of potato chips or snacks changed to fat-free or fat-free, for example, pretzels, popcorn, prepared without fat or roasted soy.
