sensitive stomach
Easily upset gut
A sensitive stomach is one that reacts badly to certain foods or stress, causing discomfort, nausea, or digestive upset.
The phrase usually describes a chronic tendency rather than temporary illness: I can't eat spicy food—I have a sensitive stomach.
Someone with a sensitive stomach may need to avoid rich, acidic, or unfamiliar foods.
