(well) tolerated by the stomach
I think that this is a more scholarly piece and you might need a more technical term than what has been suggested.

Astrid Elke Witte
: Yes, probably "irritate the stomach" would be appropriate here. Without the negative, "easy on the stomach" is spot on, and sounds natural.
