Alfredo sauce
More likely to cause discomfort because alfredo sauce is typically rich, fried, sugary, alcoholic, or otherwise symptom-triggering.
Why it received this rating
Alfredo sauce is typically made with butter, cream, and cheese, creating a concentrated fat load that may sit heavily when digestion is slowed.

Use a small spoonful, thin it with pasta water or broth, or choose marinara or a light Parmesan sauce.
Symptoms or considerations
Creamy sauces may worsen nausea, reflux, diarrhea, or long-lasting fullness.
